 What incentive is there for people to join nostr? What direct benefit can they receive here and nowhere else? #asknostr 
 - no censorship (I, myself, had contents removed or banned on legacy platforms.)
- no algorithm to manipulate you
- v4v philosophy
- Legacy platforms are dying. They are tring hard to KYC and control you.
- Zapping is the future!
- Freedom! 
 so far its a tough sell if you don't care about sovereignty (like most people do)
My hope is that nostr becomes a place for good/diverse content 
 
 You can't get cancelled 
 An interesting application would be to get news corporations to post their long form news stories on #nostr. The content could include images and embedded videos (without Google's tracking!).

Someone could then create a mobile app that displays their news content in the form a news app would normally look. Not as a timeline feed, but more like a typical news website.
