Then someone makes a client that parses all the notes for links of a certain flavor that indicate they are livestreams and starts to display those livestreams in a special way.
Or someone makes an app dedicated to viewing livestreams from people in your Nostr network, then replies to that note announcing the livestream are displayed in the special livestream app and so on.

Good for them, but that's not nostr, it says so in the NIP01 brochure.
Think about it. A fun space that isn’t trying to be twitter (it being text-only would make that point obvious, if people know not to expect pictures and videos and link previews they won’t feel they should expect other things too).
And that has a personality, and that scales, and notes really are 100% self-contained.
And you really do own your profile but nobody cares about some lifetime web of trust building nonsense, if you lose your nsec no big deal jump back with a new one, a whole fun culture evolves around nsec respawning, you don't need FROST or some other nonsense just to keep your nsec safe forever, nobody cares about that, that's not what this thing is.
And super cheap, cause no media. No CDN of any kind.
No DMs of any kind, no giftwraps, no MLS, no quirky relay auth, none of that, just kind1 text notes, shortened text links, and outbox, and nsecs that nobody cares too much about losing.
I honestly think that ridiculously simple nostr could scale to 100 times more users that this nexus of complexity we have now.
