Get someone like Jordan Peterson, Alex Jones or Joe Rogan to try it, then it will explode.

It can only implode, unfortunately. Same with welfare payments.
Sadly, this seems to be the core flaw of Western democracies.

And ideally all accumulated peer-to-peer, not via KYC'd exchanges, if possible...
However, for nostr to grow, is *has* to expand beyond tech & bitcoin discussion, don't you think?
Don't give up. People are waking up - slowly, but they are. The censorship of social media gives an artificial impression of the public's view, which you shouldn't mistake for reality.
I see it like this: think of various internet protocols - TCP, POP3, IMAP, SMTP, HTTP, whatever. Are the profit-making in their own right? No. Does that mean that people haven't built profitable businesses on top of them? Of course not!
Nostr will inevitably create an ecosystem of client programmes, just as we have a variety of web browsers and email clients. If the features are good (e.g. good search, adaptive algorithms) people will pay for them.
Moreover, the phenomenon of true micropayments changes incentives and massively reduces friction in various ways. Quite what this means is still slightly unclear, but we can see from micropayments in other ecosystems (e.g. M-Pesa in Kenya) that it was often transformational in ways which were not entirely expected.
Very clear data from NZ: being boosted is worse than useless.
GN nostriches.
Generally speaking, I tend to assume governmental incompetence rather than conspiracy. But the past few years have made me question that assumption a lot.
Add a Lightning address to your profile - that will suffice for tips.
Zaps are kind of 'enhanced tips' and only supported by some lightning wallets (like WoS & LN.tips) - there are several guides on here if you search.
Then contribute interesting or humorous content!
Yes, if you were a truly evil but super-intelligent mastermind who wanted to get humanity permanently hooked on pharma products, or else face death, you would quite feasibly start down the same path we're treading.
