Apologies for being difficult here, but this isn’t exactly true, is it? I mean, this post of yours made it to the trending topics and receive a gazillion sats because it was noticed by influencers, while plenty of similar posts will be shown to absolutely nobody simply because they didn’t come from a well-connected account.

There are also plenty of ads all over Nostr (e.g. zapping bots), including some that are clearly preying on people, but we aren’t allowed to talk about them because Nostr loves its Lightning vendors. Plus saying anything negative about Nostr means you are excommunicated from the Purple Ostrich Church.

Don’t get me wrong, I love Nostr and already do more than my fair share of volunteer work to lift it up. But it hasn’t really fixed all of the problems mentioned above. In fact, it’s invented a few new ones of its own.

Smart people are working hard to fix all of this, of course... And that’s what I love about it. Nostr is deeply flawed, but enough people love it to keep trying to improve it.
