It will be very difficult to unseat x.com as the leader especially since they started paying creators.

I’m not claiming that nostr will unseat X but I also don’t think it’s unlikely.
X is taking itself down one move at a time. The user experience is shit.
Spending any amount of time on there creates stress and contention.
As for creators, they aren’t earning anything substantial. A popular account on there with ~370k followers earned $70 during the month of September off of 9.6 million impressions. X has taken far more away from creators with the changes in the past year than they’ve paid them.
Meanwhile, creators earn via p2p v4v here.
No algorithm. No pay to play. No gatekeepers. No censorship. No deplatforming.
