 That is entirely possible. I would guess most new users won't stick around if all they see is spam. 
 Be interesting to see if any of the nostr stats show a slow down because the deteriorated experience because all the spam. I wish we knew who it is behind it. I guess we are big enough to care about now. 
 It could because of a multitude of reasons, but my feed has been slower over the last few days and I'm getting less engagement on my notes. Maybe it's because I tweaked my relays, maybe everyone is busy and using Nostr less like I have been recently, or maybe it's spammers turning people off, or something else.

 
 WOT is bad, if you run strfry, I will help you and yourr rely be spam free. I have done it

 On top of choosing my relays, which should stop spam, something I can configure like wot is great. Unfortunately I see much spam coming from filter.nostr.wine which was paid and doing good until today. :(

I think the concept of WOT is great but can't just stop at follows. One should be able to choose the WOT points that users must have, but also choose how many layers (follows of follows of follows) aggregate that score. WOT isn't the one solution but it's needed. and needs to be more configurable. 
 Yes, relays should fight spam better. However, WOT is a failure and ruins the experience. Every other decentralized alternative don't have these problems. Only Nostr because of their bad design decisions. They never cared about the relay. Wot is a poorly designed bandaid to cover up bad relay design decisions. Nostr can't even fight CSAM  
 Your right it does hurt discovery. I just like when I can control it. I limited everything to like 2 relays, then stopped seeing things in certain clients, added a couple back. Choosing relays still confuses me I suppose. 
 Yeah, it could be a multitude of things like you said. I have also noticed a slowdown lately; hopefully, it's not the spam attack working. We'll probably get a clearer picture in a couple of weeks. 
 What happens when 21 million bitcoins are mined into existence? What incentives will miners have at this point to mine blocks for new transactions? Curious about people's thoughts on this

 After spending all of  yesterday getting up and down off the roof, and only a few hours of sleep, today my body is having a brutally honest conversation with me about my age...
