 Nostr goes against traditional networks. Im sitting here thinking that nostr might never be mainstream. Its decentralized and cant scam.. what company traditional company wants to be transparent and use bitcoin and give power to the ppl. Ill wait Coca-Cola haha walmart target i dont see any major company coming to nostr.  
 Nope. Just Bitcoin centric companies who operate in good faith. Everyone else is grifting. 
 They’d have to rename, Cocr-Colr, Wallmartr, Tragetr 
. Never gonna happen 😂 
 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🦾🦾🦾 
 You are right it may never become mainstream, people don’t care about privacy enough. 
 The question is, what makes a social network “take off” the populace or the ad revenue? 
 Lets build a sign in the middle of the field for advertising 
vs
Lets build a billboard on the major highway right before the exit they need to take.

No ads are ever built in isolation 
 Thus, ad revenue follows eyeballs and not vice versa. I think a good example of this is the explosion of individual content creators beginning to pull ad revenue away from MSM. 
 I just think nostr needs a greater number of visionaries and designers not lone devs building in isolation without any feedback loops, this I see as a bitcoin culture that nostr inherited added with the certain levels of complexities encouraged by the bitcoin ecosystem that is finding its way into nostr.
