He shared impressive metrics including ~2,500 unique visitors per day, ~100 video uploads per day, +110k total unique uploads, +100 accounts sold with ~2,300 uploads.

Nostr is an idea whose time has come, and we’ve chosen this screenshot shared by Rabble as today’s Meme of the Day, as a symbolic passing of the baton from centralized platforms to decentralization. Information wants to be free. #[65] #[66] —-------------------------- Stay Classy Nostr.
