This kind of realistic and very clear debates about what #Nostr may or may not get to do should happen more often. It is clear that the protocol will not even jokingly reach a number of millions of users, and for a simple reason: it is not an imperative need for 99% of normal users now. That said, I think we have a great future but we have not yet discovered it, the current use is the traditional use of social media and this use already has big and bigger actors at stake.
shit can go sideways pretty quick in clown world though. some people are really starting to see the mass manipulation that is occuring.
