That was painful to read, but he's probably speaking for all newbies, there.

Just the basic ideas, that storing data costs money, or that you could store your own data, or that media are separate from text, is a nonstarter for most of them.

for sure.

but maybe a few of them will learn something.

just being here

even for a little while

could have an impact.

Yeah. Using Nostr actually teaches you how social media really works.

I know about zero people, outside of Nostr, who realize that the images on websites are not part of the HTML, they're just linked to from there.

people who used steemit and its clones learned about that tho, nostr:npub1cxp3l03x20mkzezzr4takm8w8zuva7xwvacmcewp97z58hjt8xls3mexlq was one of my compatriats from there - he still uses the community-take-over after Justin Sun turned the steemit.com app into a koreabot fest - it also uses markdown, as well

but yeah, most average people, they have no idea about anything of how it's done

Isn't it amazing that nobody know what hypertext means/is?
