Ive said elsewhere, apps/clients are nostr, just like warpcast is farcaster. How people use your protocol is everything. Social clients are the intro for most end users, if they aren't useable neither its all useless.
I believe if the ecosystem of apps just gets one viral app made from left field, an omeagle, reddit, 4chan or other app that was ahead of its time and not existing elsewhere then this will highlight the power and bring people to nostr. Normies won't come because of principles, they will come for $$ or attention. Neitherorf these exist on nostr like they do on other parts of the interwebs.
Facebook and gmail is not the internet, no.
