Because it's the most not-like-Twitter Twitter alternative being fed to them by the media. Bluesky is a media darling.

 Agree. Even nostr:nprofile1qqsgydql3q4ka27d9wnlrmus4tvkrnc8ftc4h8h5fgyln54gl0a7dgspzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuurjd9kkzmpwdejhgqg5waehxw309aex2mrp0yhxgctdw4eju6t0qy2hwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnddaehgu3wwp6kyfehcpn said they're making all the same mistakes that Twitter did, essentially rebuilding Twitter. 

 It's a risk for public relays, but the private whitelisted relays would continue to persist. It's an interesting advantage nostr relays have over other networks.  

 If all of my followers started following millions of people, my nostrelites relay would probably go down 🤣 

 Tbh I think we'll feel this next summer/fall.. 

 Certainly a problem we hope for. 

 I just wish to regain my health because I'm running a node I understand nothing about and would love to learn about running relays one day! 

 A lot of relays would go down. 

Some clients would become unstable.

I think responses & approaches to the increased  usage would quickly arise & proliferate.
