Haha okay not sure about that last bit. So you think advertisers would have to be less targeted on Nostr? If that is the case why come here?

" So you think advertisers would have to be less targeted on Nostr?"
Yeah basically. Like the early days of TV; when they would design shows to appeal to certain demographics and then sell ads to that demographic.
They had a vague idea of who they were reaching but didn't have nearly the amount of data that is scraped from internet/app browsing.
Or like placing an ad in a newspaper. You know it will be seen but not necessarily who sees it and how many see it. Or when they see it, click on it, etc.
All of that sounds less targeted to me.
"If that is the case why come here?"
I'm not making a case it would draw people here, just saying that seems like how it is.
Marketers are so addicted to data they would have to rethink their whole paradigm in order to come to nostr.
Perhaps if they reduce costs by not tracking every conceivable bit of data and focus on a couple meaningful metrics, they could use nostr.
Example: (caveat, I'm not a marketer. I'm making all this up.)
I'm a company selling a widget. I do research to find where my target buyer hangs out on nostr and maybe the tags they use. I advertise in these parts nostr widely and indiscriminately. And cheaply.
I don't track anything from nostr but I do track my sales figures and I iterate my advertising based on that. I won't know exactly who, what, why, how, where the ads worked but I can see if they are working or not via my sales figures.
I may be able to advertise cheaper than I could otherwise by reducing the labor/research/consultant costs.
