 the question is do we want/need/is it possible to recreate the addiction that enables other platforms to thrive? 

we discuss discovery on nostr but it’s not only discovery, it’s addiction to discovery

 It’s my hope that we don’t need the addiction in order for projects/businesses to thrive on nostr. If the incentives are designed to serve corporate growth and advertiser interests, then maybe nostr will just be a replication of those platforms. But I think the open design and transportability of our data and social graph puts some checks and balances on the incentives here. The design limits the ability of any single app/platform on nostr to truly lock anyone in. A creator on TikTok or X or Youtube is fully at the mercy of their policies, and if something happens to their account then they have to start over on a new platform or at least with a new account. A creator using one nostr app can easily switch to a different app if the first one isn’t serving their needs.
