Well we've all been suckered into this idea that the only way the internet can provide things for us to do is through third party apps, services, and websites. Want a car to the airport? Use Uber, Bolt, Lyft, etc. Want a meal? Use Uber, Doordash, etc. Want to send a message? WhatsApp, Telegram, etc An email? Want to book a flight? Buy a toothbrush? You get the idea. 

The internet isn't neutral - we messed up. We let third parties, we _needed_ third parties to first add functionality to the internet, and now we're stuck in this third-party-internet design of different companies doing the same thing, over and over, and taking a cut. For what? Do we need 10 delivery apps? 

I should be able to broadcast a message to get a lift to the airport. Neutrally. Like hoisting a flag on my doorstep. No third parties involved, just me and the drivers around me. Same with sending messages, getting a meal, sharing with my friends, backing up my photos... same with nostr. 

Bitcoin showed us that running nodes/relays across the globe adds functionality to the internet in a way that cuts out the need for some third party that can be manipulated. Code is the only thing that matters.

Nostr lets us send data neutrally and in a resistant way, let's build everything on that now. No more third parties.
