Ah, I see what you mean. In the scenarios you have presented, how does nostr compete with the precision of an algo and the learned behaviour of mindlessly consuming one's feed? I don't believe censorship resistance and decentralization are factors that the majority of people will consider when assessing the value of a protocol.

First, the content has to be there, and in order for the content to be there, the people who create the content have to be there. If people come to Nostr interested in nature photography and don’t see any or know how to find it, then yea they’re going to leave. If they come to read and share poetry but don’t know how to find other poets, or where/how to publish their poems, then they’re probably going to leave. And video content on Nostr is all but a joke right now. In-app viewing experiences are horrendous, and the uploaded greatly limit how much you can upload. No creation tools. Etc. It’s all early, so that’s not so much a criticism as it is just a reality check. That’s what I mean by “it depends what you mean by content.” Content varies widely. Nostr is good for some right now, not so much for others. And it’s not great for any of it yet.

All that said, for those of use on Nostr now, the roughness is part of the charm. We love it. But not everyone wants that. Most people want a sleek and easy user experience.

Agreed. Maybe the future doesn't lay in an "everything" client. Instead, the future may be the development of clients for each type of content, with the ability of the user to transport their network to each.
