 People will discover nostr through great products built on it - not purple pilling the protocol.

Most don't give a shit about censorship resistance or tamper proof messages.

They will be using nostr without even knowing or caring

 I think the jump is the unified identity when they realize that your community is on your social and your music app, podcast, games and on and on, for me that's the big feature

 Similarly, the app or service that will bring popularity to Nostr will show no respect for user privacy, anonymity, or freedom of speech... at least not for the average user.

Nothing new needs to be invented; for an app to succeed, all that's needed is tons of advertising and a distopic business model that allows for a return on investment while users don’t pay anything. Too young girls with too short skirts also help.

 Yes, that will happen too. Open protocols.

 Yup, it will be like using email. Normies don’t know what SMTP is, yet everyone uses email.

Normies won’t know what Nostr is, yet people (hopefully) will use products built on Nostr.
