 Nostr devs overlook a crucial point about the modern world.:  Huge numbers of  social media users  esp on twitter (and majority of westerners who are under 35) describe themselves as socialists.  They are not interested in crypto.  They want to socialise their opinions not monetise them.  Crypto capitalism is a turnoff for many. Zaps have hindered nostrs appeal to the masses, it only excites nostr nerds and devs who own crypto already.
