A good reason to have expiring notes. So bots can’t crawl them on demand. And probably use relays that honor expirations or delete requests. And a reminder to not over share

I vibed an npub oracle which lets me query 10,000 notes from any npub with an llm. It’s super creepy and can deduce so much from people’s notes. Down to precise details. Not going to share it for obvious reasons. My original motivation was to find out if an npub is likely a bot.

Same as anything else - it’s not black and white, the goal is not complete accuracy but threat reduction.

The idea is to reduce footprint. You won’t necessarily thwart a determined person.
It's basically impossible, I have a $50/year VPS that pulls in the last year for 60k npubs 😮‍💨 Any govt or commercial entity can pull the entirety of Nostr easily.

Yeah but as a casual viber id need to know your specific relay to query. Like I said, the idea is to reduce footprint for most people, not for a determined person or organization.
