Replying to Avatar Layerjack (Onion Knight)

I don't use any social media (except for this one, cause its anonymous), and I see no value in the social layer.

Rule of thumb, engaging content = well funded content. For that, I watch HBO, they spend $100M on a show. 100x of the entire funding of Nostr. Corporations and governments will always create better content than a bunch of shitposters.

I still like how there are a few cool people here. Granted, most of them came from fedi

You misunderstand the social layer.

Social layer is like comments under YouTube channels or newspaper articles, recipe or movie ratings, developer discussions about code-change proposals, websites that allow you to book hotels and complain publicly about the dirty bathrooms or post pics of the delicious breakfast buffet, chatting during a video conference or while watching someone stream, contacting a restaurant to make a reservation, etc.

It's a way of letting users discuss what they're looking at or interact with the source of what they're looking at.

You still need people running hotels, filming movies, or writing well-researched articles. And Twitter is where news is often breaking, so Nostr doesn't need to do that (yet). It needs to integrate the breaking Twitter news better, so that people can discuss it here.
