When I was in film school our professor told us that before you can break the rules you have to know what the rules are and why you are breaking them.

Everything you listed are rules that are a consequence of the advertising model, isn't it? Video as a medium is older than social networks, I would guess your professor was referring to rules about film making in general (FWIW, I've heard that quote as well). Nostr is a fundamentally different kind of network. There are no central arbiters, or hidden incentives. No one makes money of off its users.
