Decent review, there is a lot of BTC because it was built by people that like BTC and attracts users with that similar interest. I don’t see that as a problem for nostr. Good place to hang out and meet like minded people without the BS algorithm of Twitter/X
'Nostr, the Strangest and Clunkiest Twitter Replacement' - a blog reviewing nostr.
Kind of a cool headline lol.

It's a shame people think you NEED to have a wallet and money to use nostr, you literally don't, and a fair amount of people use nostr without.
'All you have to do is have a … bitcoin wallet, and some money.'
But whatever, there are some valid points made as feedback. I still have no idea why the nip05 verification thing is such a big deal. You can also happily use nostr without it (right?) I think the reviewer got the gist of that too.

Yeah, I don't think it is surprising that nostr is how it is. I also don't think it is surprising that it consistently gets this sort of feedback tho.
You can just hope it expands and grows ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I think there sorta does exist a bitcointwitter culture feedback loop. Nostr has a lot of bitcointwitter expats, clients recommend bitcointwitter personalities and post style / content to retain bitcointwitter expats exploring nostr..In a way it kind of reads as 'hey this is like bitcointwitter but better, stay here'. It gives the impression of a bitcointwitter telegram group to an outsider of BT. I think it's often forgotten twitter is more than bitcointwitter, there are other people to be catered to. Just imo.
Spot on assessment for sure. I forget people have interest outside BTC 😂😂 once you go down the rabbit hole it hard to to see everything through a Bitcoin lense.
