yes, and at the current state of things, he is , IMO, half right, if an umbrel solution and node relays easy to implement and pruned are not deployed soon, that will be the end of this beautiful Bitcoin enthusiasts ECO chamber...

One other project is way more successful and engaging by 10 fold, check Stacker News... (link in my profile) the engagement is excellent and the platform found a way to monetize while providing a service people is willing to spend few sats thanking excellent Intel, articles and thoughts, SN takes a percentage and shares a large portion with creators.

It is always the same, on one side the Satoshi Nakamotos' of the world, building altruistically, anonymously, not in search of glory out of ego or primarily looking to monetize (the minority, we have few of them through history) on the other hand the rest, following predictable human nature, with bills to pay, some professional and down to earth, some greedy, some egomaniacs, some sold out to corp interests and the list goes on...

Nostr needs Satoshi Nakamotos' type of devs to free the relayers from the intention to monetize them (umbrel pruned implementation would do)... although we may have to enter a coma state to proof that the path of paid relayers leads to a death project.

Just my opinion ...
