 Good morning #nostr! We are so early 

We held a focus group with friends and family last night on some new marketing videos explaining the idea of nostr:npub17vscfmnmshfdw68llhduxtr4h0kkmyhzm4phzs40t3gqsmguz7lsak66ne and the app’s features. 

This group barely understood Bitcoin let alone Nostr. 

Some of their initial questions:

“How could social media even work without algorithm?”

“Who decides what I see?”

“How can I find new accounts?”

“What if I decide I don’t want to see something and then “it” never shows me that again?”

“How it could be fun without an algorithm deciding what shows?”

Fortunately, the focus group session ended with someone asking…

“So WE are the algorithm?”

To which nostr:npub1pmhevxtlt3478pvmdqt7dftnv6zc2mzpdc569yjm6ks4k2jhezcs53uksr & I enthusiastically responded: YES!
