Friendster, MySpace, etc. were all filled with younger generations. Those platform died. Nostr as a protocol has the chance to be dozens and dozens of different platforms. If one does, it doesn't really matter. 

 let’s see what gets made and the quality first 

 key words being “has the chance” i want to give it a chance but just like the google+ social media, there’s a point where you need to be able to safety critique the viability. 

 I was a huge advocate and active user of Google+. The small community here is very similar to it's levels of engagement. Google+ failed when Google decided to stop working on it. That can't happen here in the same capacity. If Vitor stops working on Amethyst another client developer can take over or be given the opportunity to shine. Because of this open nature, I believe Nostr has a greater chance than any other social competitor that's arose over the last decade. 

 I criticize Nostr all of the time 😂 When something is janky or I don't like it, I complain. I complain because I want Nostr to succeed. With centralized platforms, complaining can only go so far. You or anyone else cannot fix it. You have to wait for the company to do it. With Nostr, anyone can build or fix my complaints! It's all in the open. Sure, Nostr is far from perfect, but I can surely see the potential and I'm willing to deal with numerous pains in the ass while it's gets built, because I feel it's worth it. 

 🤣 

 you must be old 

 I don’t use facebook it instagram or snap. Just Twitter and now nostr. I find it funny because we were told it was bad and now all those same people are using it. Sad and funny at the same time. 

I’m old but not that old 😂 

 In fact, TikTok is also an old app, TikTok was formerly known as musical.ly, TikTok's parent company acquired it in 2017. musical. lywas founded in 2014 and is intended for distribution outside of China. musical.ly was modeled after another homegrown app, Kuaishou. The company was founded in 2011, the earliest is to do GIF pictures, in 2013 to transform to do short video, and at that time to use it are rural residents, the whole style is very soil, not recognized by the mainstream society. All innovation starts from the fringes and subcultures, and all mainstream starts from non-mainstream.

If you look at the history of technological revolutions, they all start at the edge. And all the apps, movies, animations, and music that young people like are actually created by the elderly and middle-aged.

Nostr is not necessarily going to succeed, nor is it necessarily going to be the future. But one way you can judge whether this new technology has a future is whether it provides a need that current products do not meet. What Nostr offers that wasn't offered before is decentralization giving everyone the right to free expression, which is at the heart of this protocol. Based on what kind of trees will grow in the future, we need to solve one problem now, and then solve another problem, and keep solving problems and building before we can find the next super popular killer app. This is the nature of technological innovation. Mimicking Twitter, TikTok, and instagram is not the future of Nostr, but it's all a learning process. We believe in the future of Nostr and that is why we are here.
