I think we are expecting way to much from most than what we have expected from social media before (well, before, social media wasn't a thing) and we tend to forget how much time it really took to legacy social media to gain traction. And we haven't mentioned the most revolutionary part of nostr, which is greatly underrated, and I refer to zaps. That form of sending value over the internet is a major achievement yet to be exploited in its full potential.

Mmm. When social networks spawned in the late 2000s, they grew at stupendous rates. Facebook was at a million active users after 2yrs and a 100m in 4 years. And this was at a time when the internet had about half the global penetration it has now. So I’m not sure that argument stands.
