A side effect of Napstrfy I hadn’t even thought about is just how good audio quality is! Its so noticably better. Spotify compresses music as much as it can get away with to save overhead, a slow enshittification of music, none of us notice. Napstr music files are much more likely to be larger and higher quality. I get that brain-tingly feeling from music again. Seeding music doesn’t just feel better, it sounds waaaaay better too! nostr:nevent1qvzqqqqqqypzps0uwaclt7jp3lf6cjfzrgv0rx6zejm6vc763uzvh0mvpryq6g93qy2hwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnwdaehgu3wvdhk6qg5waehxw309aex2mrp0yhxgctdw4eju6t0qyxhwumn8ghj7mn0wvhxcmmvqqsq236rekr3mnha82akdkzhsmeesf7vhep393a8qajs5q6tep6qpashhpns2

Totally, If i could move to a different date, it would prob be 90s. Tech existed, but it wasnt all consuming, and no algos

Correct. Nostr is not a bitcoin project.

Exactly. Bring it on i say, setting stupid precedents for nostr note takedown requests isn't something I want to be a part of.

Its the newb ux. If youre a Brazilian looking for a new home compare nostr dot com to bluesky. Nostr dot com should just be a simple client, and link to the current content (which we will prob put on nostr dot org). Current ux of technobabbling to newbs is just losing us users, millions upon millions looking at the stats

Primal is one of the least functional clients, especially considering the resources used to build it. Regardless of that, the real reason we dont have more users is nostr.com which i control, its the landing page for nostr, its where you go googling nostr. We get 1-2m unique views per week who all get scared away. A beautiful industry of solutions hidden behind a shitty landing page. Resources has always been our issue, we spend most of what we have maintaining LNbits, so nostr.com is a second thought. We also didnt want to be seen to be capturing users by hosting a client, but that time has passed, I think its possible to do and still funnel users into wider ecosystem. Its quite remarkable this clear bottleneck isn't more obvious for an industry that had had huge sums invested. Its so obvious. nostr.com should have a team of dedicated devs, focus groups, ux designers, instead its me squeezing in time every now and then. So yeah. Weird.

How is this different than current conventional medicine???

You generally don't have the doctor put their penis up your nose in conventional medicine?
