Not quite everyone, Rabble is very good.  Will IMHO is one of the better ones, but he is certainly in the group that would rather throw stones, than look and learn, and make nostr better.  It's sad that this toxic positivity has taken over so much developement to the extent where it's hard for nostr to improve.

Bluesky did a lot of things well.  Especially growth.  They invested in infrastructure and it paid off big.  They created a great UX with simple features that  users wanted.

Nostr does have a large investment 10s of millions from the foundations via jack.  Its silly to say that nostr has to be 100x smaller than other protocols because reasons.

Nonetheless there are some good projects in nostr outside of damus.  Ditto and nos.social are two projects looking to learn and build bridges.  Also chachi chat is great.  I would target investment in the outward looking projects, rather than folks that want to mock projects that were smaller and grew 100x bigger.
