it is as it doesn't have basic utility to make connections after you onboard, such as search. 

 then we will need a lot of interests, clients, and niche groups that people on here have negative opinions about. there must be a culture of openness for people to even want to make connections here in the first place.

 One thing leads to the other. If you can’t find it easily, you don’t make it. 

 I think you’re right about this 

 In fact, TikTok is also an old app, TikTok was formerly known as musical.ly, TikTok's parent company acquired it in 2017. musical. lywas founded in 2014 and is intended for distribution outside of China. musical.ly was modeled after another homegrown app, Kuaishou. The company was founded in 2011, the earliest is to do GIF pictures, in 2013 to transform to do short video, and at that time to use it are rural residents, the whole style is very soil, not recognized by the mainstream society. All innovation starts from the fringes and subcultures, and all mainstream starts from non-mainstream.

If you look at the history of technological revolutions, they all start at the edge. And all the apps, movies, animations, and music that young people like are actually created by the elderly and middle-aged.

Nostr is not necessarily going to succeed, nor is it necessarily going to be the future. But one way you can judge whether this new technology has a future is whether it provides a need that current products do not meet. What Nostr offers that wasn't offered before is decentralization giving everyone the right to free expression, which is at the heart of this protocol. Based on what kind of trees will grow in the future, we need to solve one problem now, and then solve another problem, and keep solving problems and building before we can find the next super popular killer app. This is the nature of technological innovation. Mimicking Twitter, TikTok, and instagram is not the future of Nostr, but it's all a learning process. We believe in the future of Nostr and that is why we are here.
