We don't do participation trophies here. There are clear guidelines on the NIPs repo: at least two implementations. Participation is how you 1. get feedback, 2. signal a draft NIP, 3. canvas support. But someone else has to actually build something for your idea to get in. All that's left is for them to say in that thread "hey, there's another implementation over here" and that would be enough to merge. I agree with you about the podcasts NIP (you're referring to F4 I assume?), it shouldn't have been merged. Or are you referring to

NostrHub — Build Nostr Together

NostrHub is where the developer community collaborates on building the Nostr protocol — discover, draft, and discuss NIPs together.

If so you'll have to explain more how it contradicts my argument, because I'm not really talking about nostrhub. Also @Derek Ross why did you overload 30078? That's like rule number one of NIPs, don't overload kinds.
