If the demand convenience, let them enjoy slavery.
Here is a reality check,
F- your big creators.
If they are entrenched in a system because theyve had success in it, and wont change unless we coddle them and beg them to come, let them enjoy the inevitable collapse that comes to all who cannot stay humble, stack sats, and evolve.
The path to slavery is paved with conveinience and safety
also, you suffer from fame worship.
We are the early birds.
Most people have not grasped keypairs, but the world is going that way with “passkeys” from the big tech companies. People are tired of passwords.
Once people get over this hurdle, Nostr is the only implementation that makes any sense.
Yeah and here's the beauty of it:
whoever, whenever creates the "right" UX for #nostr, which takes off, EVERYTHING and EVERYBODY on nostr is going to benefit
It mimics beautifully the main incentive paradigm of #Bitcoin:
What benefits one, benefits all
Rug them and they will care.

REALITY CHECK: I had the opportunity to meet some big creators the last days.
Been trying to nostrpill all of them.
There is an interest in having the community non ruggable.. but they don’t really worry about decentralization or being censored. Also they don’t care about zapping…
USABILITY and UX is THE MOST IMPORTANT FACTOR FOR THEM!
I got some interest from the interoperability of different apps on the protocol - but it’s still hard to understand for them.
For most people #nostr doesn’t solve a problem yet. Which is fine.. I think it’s just an important reality check and it makes you realize how early everything on nostr is right now. Most here did their POW - and if you read this you’re an #nostrOG
I just realized how fkn exciting it is to be part of a new technology emerging. We all see the work we need to do but also have the grand vision - which no one knows how it’s going to play out.
THE WORLD NEEDS NOSTR IT JUST DOESNT REALIZE IT YET

Yesssssssssssss.
Rugs teach. Moar rugs. Moar.
Once people realize the power and true flexibility of being able to leverage your social graph, and take it with you between various application platforms, your web trust and web of interest can be come a quite powerful mechanism for usability. Decentralization and censorship resistance are definitely important, but they're not cool and sexy. We need to bring sexy back. I think portability and interoperability are sexy. That's our hook.
Proof of work 💜💜💜
Thank you 🙏
Whats better than clicking two buttons and youre connected to an amazing protocol
🤝

Yep. Nostr wins with exceptional UX and new experiences. Censorship resistance is a side effect not the carrot. 🥕
shutting down Telegram might lead to Nostr influx
Where there is an audience to tell their stories to creators will come. The larger the audience, the bigger the creators. I believe there will be an event horizon at some point. Then, creators will be forced to come.

#Nostr is win-win-win
When zaps are the most important component of Nostr for people, they are quite greedy. We don’t need that type people yet now imo 👀
We need the people who care about keeping the ownership of their data and see the benefits of the portability of this in the ecosystem (the nostrverse)
Breaking news, the influencers of yesterday are the no-coiners of tomorrow and don't care about anything but UX. Bahahaha 😂 Who gives a fuck what they want? The real influencers of tomorrow will be created on nostr. Like
@Ainsley Costello and
@OpenMike

For this sort of creators the better part of interoperability is that they can actually *increase* their user base trough influx from applications they do not know exist.
Probability we need just a good UX to keep the users in the app, and a great interoperability UX to invite them to easily jump elsewhere.
And because usually clients' priority is not to let users go away, we need to build this good interoperability UX at protocol level. We can achieve this with rock solid specs and tools, paired with a great information layer, like you,
@Max DeMarco and
@Gigi are doing brilliantly.
" but it’s still hard to understand for them. " There is no big tech spoon feed - SELF-LEARNING is BEST TOOL
Is usability and UX really what’s most important to them or is it just a proxy for easier revenue generation and/or lowering costs?
Yeah, some will simply be left behind.
There is no ALGOS here pizza boy!
"USABILITY and UX is THE MOST IMPORTANT FACTOR FOR THEM!"
So is monetarising on their viewers on centralised platforms. I've been around for 12 years now and 95% of our influencers are hypocrites. Very view actually live the "bitcoin standard" they're preaching and even fewer create quality content even close to your own. It's not the UX, it's the money. Fiat money.
Yes totally agree, NOSTR will be the light at the end of the dark tunnel, everyone will come running. It mirrors Bitcoin, it is a life raft.
@cloud fodder that's exactly right! 👍 and ❤️ are going to be a thing of the past #⚡️IS 💛 and I can't wait for the future ✨
@Max DeMarco is right too.... UI is still a real challenge for most.
How might nostr devs improve UI and UX
@Ainsley Costello ? Any specific feedback for particular nostr apps you use?
Hey
@elsat 💛 I think it varies from app to app. Most still feel pretty "glitchy" I don't mean that as a bad word. One might not connect to wallet properly another might alway hang and never post, sometimes my posts go 3 times in a row (I think because it looked like it didn't go and I keep hitting post). I just tried to reply to a comment in Damus and it never posted? Some cool Nostr apps (Like NOS) don't have lightning yet so that's a real bummer too. For me what makes this so different is the ⚡️ replacing likes and hearts. I've worked with a lot of the apps, Damus, primal, coracle, NOS, one on one, but I'm always here to chat or test! I am dreaming of a day when Nostr really replaces IG, TT, FB!!!
My biggest hurdle when bringing on a new musician is getting the fiat to bitcoin to Nostr onboarding done all at once and almost seamlessly in the background. As soon as you talk too much ‘tech’ or ‘sound money,’ the eyes start to gloss over and we sound like salespeople. If we introduce and new revenue stream that didn’t exist before (
@Wavlake or
@tunestr ), then they can take the deep dive later when they see the value.
The early birds are nostriches
