 I think it's cool that nostr is in Forbes. But when you look at their twitter follower count and the average engagement on their posts, something feels very off. 🤔🤔 
 Much dead internet 💀🕸 
 I think partly bots and maybe partly they've moved more to scattergun Online/Digital Content, but under the original banner. Lots of places do this. Most newspapers. Quasi-clickbait or outright clickbait. 
 Sound explanation. Premium Hootsuite accounts. Id like to also think people are tuning out. ( could be wishful thinking).

Lots of noise. 
 It’s not ”Twitter”. It is X 

BIG difference. 
 I don't thinkt he difference is that big for this scenario. They have like 20m followers and an average of... 10 likes on posts.  
 I think it’s one of those big brand, smaller engagement thing.  
 They are still in print tho? Right? I have no idea. I assume it is separate editorial teams. Like how the mail online and the daily mail print, for example are different. Mail online is more clickbait, get that online revenue farm.

Not saying Forbes are going down that exact path tho. Seems like they are getting articles that appeal to niche or specific communities. A bit like vanity (no pun intended) publishing? Just as a guess lol. 
 Has nostr been in Forbes (print)? If it still exists? #asknostr 
 (I'm not poopooing the recent article or any other article, still good. Just wondering about reach.) 
 You’re wrong 😑 There has always been good people in all spheres of society. Some of us embedded to change things from within …
