I've heard the argument that Nostr nodes will coalesce around a few huge nodes, similar to ln.  I don't buy this.

There are tons of communities that run their own servers to support  access, availability, etc. Games, for instance...  Nostr will be no different ... a store-and-forward network where some subsets of nodes are specialized to store specific types of data facilitates broader access for everyone.

And Nostr isn't hobbled by the asymmetric need to access large amounts of liquidity (or notes) .... given enough nodes, a dozen smaller relays work just as well, or better, than 1 "big" relay.

 Chet Holmgren gets NBA Rookie Of The Month when his best 'rookie' asset is the all star next to him, SGA. What a joke. 

 I just realized that I cancelled Disney Network in the middle of Ashoka and havent really cared. Season 1 of Mandalorian was the only new series they've done well. 

 Would hate to be that AT&T marketing exec who decided the #Spurs arena naming rights were not worth it right before the Spurs got the right to draft Wemby ... and all the attention he brings.
