I think it's a problem with nostr in general, people are often open to b!tcoin but don't want 90% b!tcoin content. if you open flare as a non-nostr fanatic you would probably dismiss is just on first impressions (ditto nostr tbh).

imo the tipping system would be popular, but not the chat about it, the sloganeering or whatever. but i've mostly given up on complaining lolol I don't think it'll stop. i also think both have a v slim chance of reaching a wider audience, but i'm just here for the ride and curiosity ;)
