First off, just a quick note: I think it’s awesome that these kinds of thoughts and discussions are happening. But I’ve got a few concerns. 1. This plan overlooks the fact that platforms are totally different. An "influencer" on X or Instagram doesn’t automatically have the same chances here. I recently noticed that a lot of the "loud" voices and sympathizers here are on the older side—around 35 to 60 years old. And those in their mid-thirties tend to be a different, usually smarter and more conscious crowd than their peers. Our audience is more like an "alternative Facebook" than an alternative Twitter. The typical fitness or health influencer from other circles doesn’t necessarily hit the mark here. 2. Not only is the audience different, but influencing itself is different. The biggest difference? There are no algorithms here that have favored influencers elsewhere. They’ve gotten used to writing in a way that pleases the algorithms first and then gets shown to the target audience. The same style they’d have to unlearn here could come off as fake or insincere. The raw, authentic style resonates better here, and I think that’s something worth keeping. 3. I doubt that automated accounts that don’t follow anyone will have the same success here. They just don’t work as well. Personally, I don’t follow those kinds of accounts because I don’t expect any interaction. One-sided megaphones are hardly better than corporate PR departments. 4. Since the psychological effects work differently here, I’m totally against these premature accolades. Everything operates differently here. You have to "work your way up." And that only happens through interaction, commenting, zapping, and occasionally reposting. Different environment, different rules. What you achieve on X doesn’t automatically make you a star here. They should have to prove themselves here too. 5. If these folks don’t want another platform, they’re not going to just agree to an automatically replicated account here. They’re more likely to sue the operators of those accounts, no matter how open they might be, rather than accept the invitation. 6. Fiat versus Bitcoin mindset. People are fine with taking dirty money. Most don’t care about Sats. They’d have to get into all of that, and for what? If their pockets are already filling up just fine? A side note: I see you're really focused on Primal here. Primal is definitely trending right now, but it's not the top dog in the Nostr market just yet. For example, Yakihonne is actually doing better in my website stats. Jumble is also climbing up. And Nostrudel is the powerhouse. Plus, the market is constantly changing. In 1-2 years, all could be gone in a flash; it happens super fast. A few seconds of longer loading times, a couple of missed notifications, 1-2 total crashes, and users will switch without a second thought. Sure, the market could consolidate, but as long as all the clients have significant weaknesses, I don't see that happening. So in the end, I’m all for let it grow organically. New protocol, new platforms (not just social media), new influencers! View quoted note →
