Well yes, we're talking about 10k daily active users vs 120M daily active users. And still a stark difference in UX. But I'm optimistic about Nostr because of the pace of development in that UX. The more frictionless it becomes, the more enticing. Primal having a built in wallet is the way. Amethyst and Damus will be apps for power users, but clients like primal will onboard the normies.
More content creators will attract more users and more users will attract more content creators.
Flare is a great start for video content, but I've already been saying that I need to be able to pay for more storage and bigger upload sizes. It needs both free and paid tiers for creators.
As the Nostr UX improves, it will reach a point where it's so easy to use that user adoption will finally start to snowball. We're not there yet, but at this pace, we're not that far away either.
I don't have the dev chops to contribute that way, so I will continue donating to OpenSats and zapping the devs directly.
