This is exactly the case. The disparity you've noticed is a market distortion caused by a few people dumping big money into the social side of nostr early-ish. But... There are so many other stuff projects that are going to change the whole internet over time because those are the kinds of people that will quietly build things that they want to see and that is where real change happens.

How long have you been on Nostr? I’m only a few days in and still figuring out how to use Primal, let alone what the platform is capable of. I’m particularly curious about the social dynamics here. Do you know if people share much of their personal lives and get to know each other over time, or is it predominantly a place for discussing technology, Bitcoin, and current events? I’m relatively new to social media in general, and Nostr is currently the only platform I’m using. I suppose I’m trying to understand whether people come here primarily for information and discussion or whether there’s also a sense of community, with people following each other’s lives and forming genuine connections over time. I’d be curious to hear your observations if you’ve been around for a while.
I've been on nostr for a year and a half and it's whatever you want it to be. I share random life updates, personal opinions, argue with people about politics etc. the same kind of stuff I was using Facebook for before being deplatformed from there.
