 Nostr as blogging platform is going to explode as soon as someone comes up with a wordpress/ghost/etc plugins to seamlessly sync wp database with nostr (posts, comments, etc) 
 Or maybe just some #Jekyll integration? (think GH pages). Static sites can go a long way and you already have #nostr plugins for comments like zapthreads 
 Well for professionals yes, for normie bloggers that won't work. For them there should be a plugin that you install once, and it just quitely reposts your stuff to Nostr, and then imports comments from Nostr to your WP dashboard, and sends your replies to those comments back to Nostr. Set and forget, and maybe eventually some traffic/engagement starts coming, and then they start learning/caring more about Nostr. 
 If we replicate the old system bit-for-bit normies won't see any added value in the #nostr platform. For example, that's why I'm so bullish on Spring.site you just can't replicate that with any normie app.

 
 Agree, but bootstrapping a network is hard, getting content production solved with such integrations can really help.
