It occurs to me that an issue in nostr onboarding is the detox from adictive algorithmic SM feeds. This could be a major factor in why retention rates are so low and why 30 day npubs trend to zero. Anyone who knows anything about adiction recovery knows that detox stage is not easy. Relapse is common and by now we've seen enough go back to X or another platform that this connnection should make some sense. To successfuly navigate recovery one needs a good guide and a community. Neither of these are very common at standard client onboarding and would need to be pretty consistent in that first month to manage the transition successfully. AI npubs functioning as guides could fill this role and are gaining popularity in theripudic areas so could be a trend to embrace as real npub capacity would not have the bandwidth or likely the specialized training for managing a SM detox/recovery. As for communities, I think these are rising organically but more focus on the onboarding needs to be given. Right now communities are driven largely by OG npubs with great passion for nostr and protocal knowledge. That often doesn't translate to new npubs or off-nostr and that gap need to be bridged if we want growth to accelerate.

Would love to hear others thoughts on this slightly different perspective. Going to contemplate more how Morphius would address this issue because I'm starting to think a more 1-on-1 approach makes sense.
