I see. I'd rather have a manually curated list than an algo but I haven't looked at the contents yet. It requires constant maintainance to be kept up to date. It would be better of we had a community team maintain those lists.
I was open to the curated list idea (didn't think it could be worse than their trending algo), even though it's static, until I noticed that the people creating and maintaining the list don't really read here, or are off in some corporate bubble from X. This is just going to make Nostr seem even more boring than new arrivals already think it is. And why don't they hook up with the wine team, to make something cool and dynamic, based on topic heat maps, or something?
