demographics. the bitcoin crowd is highly technical and so focused on development. To many of the uninitiated, most are speaking an archaic language.
Platform growth is aligned with incentives. Why do females from Asia ages 15 to 18 join Tik-Tok? - there is a social component in the physical that is unseen in the virtual world. One of those moments is when the classmate of a 5th grader, shows her phone to her classmate IRL, and sees their friend dancing. They like it, then kids from other schools like it, then it goes around. This intermingling of demographic factors plus the tangible reality is a phenomenon not easily observed by developers.
Nostr is its own niche - So today, as it is finding its niche and identity, such questions come to the fore.
Who will use it and why?
Who will developers make features for and why?
What will be the kind of content to expect and where does these content come from?
If this was a monolithic entity with a centralized decision-making apparatus, the CEO gets to point to which direction it will go. As it is now, it is community driven.
We still go to twitter - because that's where the journalists go post their news. They need it to sustain media revenue.

The Security Versus Freedom Dilemma. An Empirical Study of the Spanish Case
https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fsoc.2022.774485/full
One of the classic debates in public opinion, now more prevalent due to the COVID-19 pandemic, has been the dilemma between freedom and security. Following a theoretical review, this article sets out to establish the sociodemographic profiles and those variables that can correlate and/or explain the inclination towards one or the other, that is, the dependent variable “freedom-security,” such as victimization or the assessment of surveillance. The analysis is based on the results of a survey prepared by the Center for Sociological Research (CIS, in Spanish) and administered to a sample of 5,920 Spaniards. The conclusions indicate that the majority inclination is for security, especially among older men, with elementary education attainment level and right-wing ideology. Furthermore, although victimization correlated with the dependent variable, the perception of being a possible victim led to a preference for safety rather than the actual experience of having been a victim. Finally, the positive assessment of surveillance through technologies such as video cameras explains or is strongly associated with security, making it a promising line of research for future work and a means to improve the understanding of the analyzed dilemma.
