I still think rewarding people sats as part of the onboarding process for completing their profile is a good idea. Add a profile picture, get 5 sats, next add a bio, get 5 sats, etc. When you're done with on-boarding they get sats sent to their entered LN address. Maybe the whole process rewards 21 sats?

We also need a way for new people to get seen. Tik Tok blew up fast because their algorithm was allowing an avg new user a chance to be seen and get a post that got millions of views. I know Nostr doesn't have the user base for that level of attention but there has to be at least some attention/engagement out the gate or they give up on it. I feel like a lot of new users are talking into the abyss then they give up on Nostr. Sats on the on boarding process is a cool idea. At least gives them the chance to Zap people out the gate. Also 5 sats for commenting on a post. Communication with new people might help people stick around. I feel like a couple good follows and engagement from the start might help retention.
The average social media user does not care about bitcoin. They don't even use twitter for money. Why would they use nostr for crypto, they just want to talk to people about Gaza or Trump or Cats, whatever.
