The metrics aren't the same
The community isn't the same
The value isn't the same

There's no 1:1 comparison with platform social media and I think we do ourselves a disservice by looking at legacy metrics as the most important. That doesn't mean they cant be useful in some ways, but I think we should recognize just how much noise there is in a typical network that makes a useful comparison extremely difficult.

Especially when what you get out of it, how likely your followers are to see your content, and the level of connection to the community can vary so greatly.
They said:
“Nostr doesn’t have the numbers.”

Yet on Twitter, with 6,000 followers, I sold just one painting in nine year.
On Nostr, in two years, I’ve sold over thirty.

Perhaps the numbers are elsewhere.
But here, there is value.
