Chatting with a few people in an effort to get them to join the #nostr world, I've kept running into the same roadblock:

"It sounds cool but I don't have time for more social media."

I don't know what could be more enticing than the opportunity to be paid directly for your content, no concern of your notes getting removed, the ability to control the content you see, and an array of different apps that all interact with each other.

I'm not sure how to proceed. I need to think this out & maybe put a collection of thoughts together.

yes ppl dont have time or patience to figure this out, especially people who are just sharing bits of their life w friends dont rly care for the zaps you could earn for your post

for content creators it's another story, but requires to bring in a bigger audience and connections to get some exposure

majority of the regular sm users are not going to wait 10 minutes before pfps and names load in just to scroll for a bit.. they're gonna rage quit after not being able to search for notes or npubs quickly or when they're not able to tag..

it just needs to be made hype to join nostr.. more celebrities and big influencer need to be converted first i think.. their fanbase will follow 😂

I'm definitely not expecting to spark some mass exodus from FB but more users is necessary for scaling, conversion diversity, etc. A ton of reasons really, you is smart, you know. If current regular users could double the user base, I think it would go a long way in helping sort out a lot of issues by providing fresh feedback, data, surfacing new problems, whatever. I waited a long time to even try recruiting because I wanted to understand what I was using first. Then I waited longer because I much enjoy our weird little corner of the internet as it is. But growth appears to be flattening after the September push, so I figure it's time.
