That's like asking if the internet should be the backbone behind tiktok, insta etc.

It isn't nostr that is skinning itself as those platforms, it is entrepreneurs/hackers/tinkerers creating nostr backed alternatives to those platforms.

Eventually all clients need to monetise. So far the popular ones, even the reliable relays, monetise through donations and subscriptions.

Whenever a breakthrough happens at the protocol level - the applications must evolve - just a blatant copy of the past interfaces never succeeds. ..

btw - better protocol ( aka #nostr) is better for the devs .. users care for the creativity of interface ! ..

Sure, but innovation is just many small iterations. No one can look at nostr and think: ah, this is the client for it. We start somewhere, find the issues and opportunities and iterate.

For example, login is already unique for these social client clones, so they aren't really clones. Zaps will be introduced, the way media is uploaded and stored is completely different. So behind the covers, everything is different.
