Me too. I don't think it's backlash as much as it's a general dissatisfaction with being blamed for other people not seeing the value in a protocol that respects them. Like it isn't really on me to post anything other than what I find interesting. Mostly that's philosophy and cigars. I think Bitcoiners tend to be early adopters in general, so you naturally see us concentrated here. It'll probably be another ten years before we see the sort of arc we see with most new technologies (including Bitcoin, since that's part of this discussion). The nerds and philosophy types will adopt things like Nostr first and hopefully shape it to be really good when the normies come around. And I'm talking about the social use case here. Bitchat is an example of Nostr being used in another way with some pretty impressive adoption if the claims I've seen are true. We can't force people to value the thing and I don't think filling it with influencer type content is going to make it better. People can do that if they want, but most of us here now simply aren't interested in it. I hope you don't view this as a personal attack on you. I hear what you're saying and largely agree. I'm just not here to say other people should post different things. I try for things I'm interested in but that's all I (or you) can do.
