The majority of traditional social media users use social media like a drug, not a tool.
Better engineering and design won’t get more users to NOSTR. It’s not a UX problem. The vast majority of users don’t care about value for value because they don’t create or pay for any content.
Traditional social media is a trap house, not a public square. The only way to get users to come to NOSTR is to become Walter White.
