Throwing darts at the craziest theories we could come up with for the spam bots and this one kinda hit as an out of box theory:

What if we found out that a very valuable asset had shown up on nostr? Maybe not in the way we think about value… maybe it comes in the form of a refuge from Instagram or something like that, someone who drove an insane amount of the attention economy to sales for a v, v powerful group of people

And what if those people wanted to prove a point to that asset about their control? Would they spam an entire protocol just to make sure she never leaves them?
