I like this post (how hard was that?). Instead of sending large integers across the interwebs, I'll pay tribute by adding this:

In addition to all these good points, there's also the fact that unless nostr turns into something that is not nostr (i.e. not meaningfully decentralized) or someone invents magic, there is no way to get accurate aggregate real-time counts of anything (not likes, not followers, not anything). And what are "likes" without counts of likes?

There are many ways that decentralized social media is going to diverge from what people are used to on centralized platforms. As I think you wrote somewhere, part of nostr is embracing the chaos.
