 Isn't this still a problem?

The first thing people usually see is Jack when coming to Nostr, and fumbling their way through clients. If I didn't know better - I would assume he's the king of Nostr.

The ability to discover things is... Moving slowly. But at least it's moving.

NGL... A lot of people only stay because of "celebrities" - basically Jack and Snowden. And others use them like a small shield of clout protecting parts of their slow progress from ridicule.

"Oh this sux..."

"Yeah but we got rich and famous people that might talk to you to keep it alive."

That's terrible. Not sustainable. (Imo)

-- personally, I mostly stay because it's not mainstream, and the 'like' buttons can be any emoji... And it's not character limited.
