 Okay, it's been a few days. I've gained a couple hundred followers, many of them new, almost all human.

I notice little difference in the amount of replies between the @Laeserin account with 5000 followers and this one, now.

 There's only about 200 people, out of the 5000, that ever replied, and they tend to be quite active and have already noticed the switch, so I'm basically done recruiting. 
 I liked the other account didn’t realize I had to follow this one too. 

Sometimes the real time feed means people don’t see critical notes that require action 
 Yeah, I try reposting, but lots of clients and the big relays block that.

The people designing that stuff all have a gazillion followers, and their stuff is interacted with constantly, for days, so they have no idea how Nostr actually works for a normal npub. 
 The relays throttling and these WOT relays is literally the worst thing to happen to nostr discoverability all year 
 They are doing all this instead of working on communities, for financial reasons. 
 Yah dude, venture capitalists got em all by the balls.
