 they don't get followers because they don't post anything consistently for any length of time. they don't post anything for any length of time, because they don’t have anything really meaningful or helpful to say themselves. They view other human beings as “followers”, because they are a soft generation of giant babies, stuck in a high chair crying for their pudding. 
 @atyh @fiatjaf This is probably true but it doesn't get at the heart of the problem.

Getting followers on NOSTR (and most alt tech networks) is easy. Having the conversations you actually want to have is a different story. 
 There is no problem.
Just retards. 
 @atyh @fiatjaf Everyone being too retarded to talk about anything other than NOSTR and Bitcoin is a problem. 
 You're not a new account... Are you? I feel like you must be an Old Head lol. 

I think there is a bit of slight sidestepping or 'not getting at the heart of the problem' as you put it.

The same with when people say in reply to not finding content and they say 'just follow more people' or imply they're lazy without an algo to feed them. This mostly solves nothing but brings you more of the same, you can try to find it all you can but there are many many topics / content which just aren't here, nor meaningful conversations around them. It's not really a user error as implied but some answers. 
 @7fqx @atyh @fiatjaf I've been here for a while, I just leave for a few months at a time bc I get so bored.

It's not as bad as it used to be tbh, but not bc new people are coming in. It's just that the people who were here aren't in the honeymoon phase with their new toy anymore. 
 Ah but this is a new npub. Did used to follow your previous one(s)? 🤔 
 @7fqx I don't recognize you so Idk. If you're with the bunch that found NOSTR through Pleroma then probably.  
 Fair enough. I didn't find nostr through plemora. Not sure I know that bunch are either. Doesn't matter tho ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯
 
 But yeah it has got a bit better recently actually. But maybe that's just me getting used to it. You see The Complaint about lack of content still comes up a lot from newer accounts, which makes me feel like it may be that case lol.

 
 ya but, can you see how high this high chair?
