Nostr Web Client

On most social media, you have to constantly expend effort to maintain an audience and customers. It's hard work. You have to constantly create something new, which is why it's called "content creation".

On Nostr, you can just have one post go viral, because some gigantic npub boosted it, and then you get so many followers that you never have to post anything interesting ever again. And if you get added to a "recommended" list, that is doubled-down upon because everyone new also follows you.

You can just post "GM" every day, forever, and stay at the top of the list.

Someone arriving later, making much more effort, doesn't have a statistically-relevant chance of ever being in the same position, unless they are known from someplace else.

Followers on Nostr is nice because they follow you everywhere, but it doesn't mean they always read you, and the latter thing is so everywhere.

So a post can go viral and increase your followers but you can't make a living without making interesting content.

I have worked and still work constantly to get quality followers, quantity does not interest me.

This is my opinion.

It's a chicken-egg problem, tho, as you can't get quality followers, without quantity followers. You have to get over a certain number, to create a dynamic impulse, depending upon your content, because discovery is _still_ primarily over followers.

I agree with you, in fact I think my number of followers is excessively high compared to how many I have ever had on other social networks. However, in this quantity I have fortunately also found quite a lot of quality, but I do not sit on my laurels and try to keep producing valuable content.
