 You're one of the only ones who has a clue. 😂 
 it's also interesting that it prompted a response 
 I strive to be a voice for the plebs that cannot be heard and try to make them heard 🫂 
 i am here to make people see into the darkness and realise the light that they didn't see

so i also respond for similar but different reasons

i'm not a big account, i actively offend my followers because i don't care about their fawning i'm here for the advancement of collective understanding 
 The new thing is asking why it matters how many followers you have.

It's like...
Go to the trendlists.
Go to the wikis.
Go to the git clients.
Go to the article readers.
Go to the search fields.
Go to...

Whose stuff do you see, everywhere?
You see my stuff, right?
Why do you think you see it?
Thank you for playing. 
 the new thing is being provocative

turns out that saying no and disagreeing is the new agreeing and saying yes 
 tension = retention... and the algo gets the bad rep, right?  
 idk but it's a new kind of warfare 
 Anything novel is provocative and upsetting to someone (usually most people, as humans eschew change).

Sometimes I formulate things mildly, sometimes I agitate, but it makes no tangible difference. People who are ready for a message accept it regardless off the tone, and people who aren't, don't. 
 Yes, I've been consciously testing that. 😂 
 Thank you 🫂😂 I try to make it my mission to understand all of the pain points that people have so that we can improve and grow Nostr.
