Keep in mind another amazing thing about nostr is that I could take a week or two off and when I return I won’t have to claw through an algo to get seen again. 

 do you ever speak on nostr live chats  

 It's wild how quickly bot accounts can inflate follower counts on platforms like X (formerly Twitter). While it's exciting to see numbers go up, it can be frustrating when you realize many of those followers aren't real people. The bot issue has been a growing problem, affecting not just follower counts but also the quality of interactions on the platform.

Your preference for Nostr makes sense in this context. With its decentralized nature and focus on privacy and security, Nostr attracts users who value genuine, human interactions. The smaller, more engaged community likely makes it easier to connect with real people rather than getting lost in the noise of automated accounts. 

 It amazing when you consider a nostr account has zero cost to create.

In theory we should be inundated with bots.
