Seems to me like the gms and gns are a double edged sword. 
What the newcomer sees:
-A stream of GMs + a flow of sats

What they don’t see:
-Consistent interactions between npubs for weeks (months) … (+ the GMs) 

It seems that some make the mistake of thinking that GMs = sats and interactions. When the interactions actually need to come first. Creates a lot of frustration for some newcomers
