If a tree falls alone in the woods, does it make a sound?

If the influencers are being paid by major VPNs, and/or don't really care about us, the tech, nostr, or the flaws in what they are already using.. does new technology not count?

Yes, the need for other people to review and evaluate our open source work is critical. But if the general public looks to influencers first to make decisions, but these influencers are too blunted, jaded, and/or corrupt to care or evaluate anything new... Because they think there is no money to be made because the general public doesn't care.. then it's a vicious cycle of tyranny.

Maybe you're wise enough to break out of the cycle. I don't know. But if we fail because of negligence from these supposed gatekeeper influencer accounts, the biggest losers won't be just me. It's you, and the ideas I represent.
