 The Nostr trending algo works backward to Twitter.

It nudges you to talk only about Nostr and Bitcoin, or to post platitudes, famous quotes, sexy pics, and heart-warming pictures of nature and food.

It's an anti-intellectual algo. 
An anti-literary algo.
An anti-contemplation algo.
Any original, complex, or unsettling thought gets buried 6 feet down and a pile of GMs gets poured on top, to seal it in.
