IMO Nostr works too well. I am not a content creator so I don't use it in that manner. I am a casual observer and I post occasionally. I come to Nostr to see what is happening in bitcoin and the world. Sometimes I engage, but usually I just observe and then I put it down. There is no algorithm trying to suck my time and numb my mind. I love it! I can count on both hands the times I have spent on other platforms since coming here. Since coming here I have sent zaps or sats to people in Mexico, Venezuela, and supported an art studio. I would never get that experience on X or Facebook! It's not the platform that isn't attracting more users, it's low dopamine, brain dead people that are stuck in and on other platforms. They don't even realize they are stuck.

Thank you for your comment 🫂🫂 Nostr is one of those double edged swords where it's great that we don't have rage algos to keep most people coming back but this also means that we have no draw to retain most users too.

Well said! Certainly rhymes true to my experience with Nostr. Took about 10 months to click, but it’s the best.
But what prevents you from opening the "following" tab on X? Or even a custom curated high-value list? I just genuinely want to understand the sentiment.
Noatr works well if you're some pervert with illegal media you want to host, or if you wanna spam hashtags with telegram links image
