OK, language barrier over, thanks. Now it all makes more sense.

My 2cents, I think @Karnage is on right track. I am always reading fantastic gems from npubs with no following, and they generate no reactions. And those with big following not saying anything different and getting loads of love and sats. Thats an X style influencer influence on Nostr. Of course the big hitters here have a lot to say and bring it on, but overall it should be a meritocracy, and its not oie in the sky idealism, because we do actually get to choose who we follow, we do have the agency to seek out the quiet corners, else this magic protocol is going down another road to echo chambers.

It's an imported effect, as they bring their followers with them and some clients have them preloaded as follows in lists, and the rest of us start from scratch.

I would have rather not had a preloaded list of the popular talking heads, or perhaps a B-lister list, users have a small following that has arisen from zero. I guess the discovery tools are a work in progress.

Going even further, instead of lists of users, I could have done with a super concise welcoming video with the transcript of how to get going in Nostr. Each client would have agency over what user guide they push to newbies, another differentiator.

Or how about two-for-one, the A-lister in the preloaded follow list earns their bacon and they do the welcome to Nostr presentations! :)

My first impression of Fountain was that some prominent users were nicely set up ready for the launch,. Meanwhile, I know I'm not the only Nosr user fumbling around trying to get Fountain to work like a Nostr client should.
