Media is almost entirely overran by bluesky fanatics because they are good at marketing. The whole thing is comparable to bitcoin vs shitcoin - truly open source contributions vs. a vc funded venture. 

There’s little value in Elon events because they just get grumpy old people to leave one platform for another. Then you have a bunch of grumpy old people in one place. Such platform cannot survive long. 

Nostr doesn’t need to focus on Elon events because the space outside of twitter is much larger. New generations want to join interesting platforms and apps, not just another twitter alternative. In fact, I’d be surprised if this format lasts much longer. People are already aggregating around niche community hence the growth of Reddit and other niche platforms. The limited nuance broad topic text platforms are an echo of the past and do not necessarily represent the future. 

If nostr tries to compete on the properties we all appreciate it for, it’s not going to win. Only new and interesting use cases are going to drive significant growth (which is what I think you’ve hinted to as well).
