The best way to grow nostr IMO is to create a culture that enables commerce with zaps as much as possible.
Zaps are so unique and will pique the interests of others since most market dynamics are driven by envy rather than greed. We would ultimately get a product-marketing of nostr creators who are free from advertiser priorities, the like/view button performance and theatrics, as well as the machines that silo their data and following.
The stuff that comes after, like the privacy and the other feature sets of nostr will secure staying power and develop a moat. This moat is the thing that influences competitive social platforms like X or possibly even Threads.
I myself will be subscribing to this thought process once I get some financial outcomes in order. I'm looking forward to investing in the growth of nostr creators.
