 Accurate. I knew no one, only of people talking about it. Everyone I've helped get set up, that I've taken the time to ask, has either watched a video or read an article that piqued their interest.

 yeah but you found gigi or jeff booth or lyn or something, or someone anyone dropping their npub, i mean, it's pretty unlikely that you even go to nostr without one person in your mind to follow here, in my opinion

most people talk about the people, and the protocol, not the client apps

 I'm just saying that some people are so ubiquitously known that knowing of them & searching them out doesn't provide much proof of anything about the person searching & following. 

I'm probably misunderstanding something somewhere... I should just stay in my lane 😅

 well it would be a red flag to spot an influencoor on nostr from X and they only show 5000 followers while they have a million on twitter

 Eventually, yes. Once they establish themselves. That number is also incredibly unstable though so is it really reliable?

 well, we can't bring all the stray lambs back from the brush but i think in the next 6 months a lot of tools will exist that will improve this... i for one am looking forward to the map of Nostr

 Yeah, I'm of the mindset that follower counts should fade away & get replaced with other signal metrics while it's still early enough that it causes minimal pain.
