Comedic twist aside, I think this definitely does illustrate one of Nostr's bigger issues. While it will never truly sink in for the masses simply because of how it's designed, there is a lot of complicated info to go over at once. To me, the best hope of onboarding someone to Nostr is to first convince them of the importance of decentralization and owning your own keys. From there, you can convince them of the wider benefits of Nostr, such as having all sorts of clients and tools built on top of it, which can lead to discussions about the potential of the future. If we can raise awareness of what Nostr solves, while also informing people of the incredible potential it offers, we probably have a much higher chance of onboarding more people. That said, it's far from the only thing we need to do. I continue to advocate for content variety, and it also wouldn't hurt to have ways to ease the information overload when creating your keys and setting things up. There are three+ decades of online concepts for people to unlearn before they'll even start to grasp what Nostr is and what it can still become.
