Majority of websites are garbage that doesn't need to be a website.

Prior to nostr, it was necessary to "own your audience" by directing them to your owned channels (website, mailing list). You couldn't rely on one centralized account because of the deplatforming risk.

But now that we have nostr, and you have little to no deplatforming risk, there is no need to have a website for your content. Articles are simply long form content and comments can all be nostr-based.

The only missing piece is being able to reach everyone at a 30%+ rate (normal email open rates). But other than this the new web needs far fewer abusive, privacy invasive, data stealing websites to exist.

Eventually we will have clients that focus exclusively on publishers by making the best possible publishing AND long form consumption experience.

I can't wait for that day.

It really is a paradigm shift. For all the blog websites out there to be replaced you only need relays serving long form posts and clients focused on displaying posts.

And in the absolute worst case when you have a large library of your articles with services like that and they all stop existing or decide to not work with you anymore, you can still run both yourself and recover the whole history including comments, hosted on your own website.

Worst case, todays status quo
