I agree. To be fair the concept of "global feed" is broken no matter how you put it. It is only interesting for early adopters that want to see Nostr "working". For Nostr to become the natural social media thing it will have to go away.

Agreeing on global feed part not on your agreement with the dude
There needs to be a way for discovery, I agree the global feed as is, might not work, but bubbles like legacy SMs should be avoided.
I don't have a problems with global feed. Just turn on global feed only from paid relays and already no spam there after. The Amethyst app has this feature (icon Globus)
If nostr becomes what it could be, looking at so-called "global feeds" would literally be something like looking at TCP/IP traffic on global Internet routing pipelines with wireshark. That traffic should not be remotely interesting to most normal people most of the time.
Depends on what you "enjoy" in a global feed. I enjoy what I see now on nostr.mom and nos.lol. It will only last as long as spam bots are dumber than filters tho 🤣
Proud users of both relays. Free relays always become the first gate of the newcomer. :)
Relays could act more like IRC channels, where a certain relay powers a group of people with a shared interest. Then, you’d never want to see more than 1 relay at a time in the “global feed.”
