just read your blog post on Nostr Addiction, and I agree with your observations of nostr as it was at that time. while nostr has grown by only a small magnitude since then in the size of its user base, I believe it is quickly growing out of the phase where engagement was primarily driven by follows and zaps.
in this new phase, relays begin to take on an important role in delineating boundaries between groups and algorithmic feeds take the place of follows to facilitate content discovery
