There is definitely hope that Nostr will be a showcase for ideas rather than influencers. The value for value nature, and the lack of evil centrally controlled algorithms, particularly supports this. However, as it grows, it will NOT overcome human nature. Attention will continue to be a currency. And once all the eyeballs arrive - mass marketing and advertising will follow. I remain pragmatic but hopeful. Nostr also needs much better search and discovery tools, because at the moment, the big accounts and the "influencers" dominate a huge percentage of the attention (and zaps).
