The optimum changes with scale doesn’t it?

When nostr is small a consolidated Global feed makes sense. When nostr is big a consolidated Global feed isn’t either desirable or technically possible.

I think we might have an era of thematic relays, but eventually so much cross leaking will happen that it breaks down.

Would be sad if things ended up with accounts as islands in an ocean of content as happened with web2 platforms.

I wonder if you have to evolve the protocol through a series of eras as nostr scales? Or if you go straight to a final optimum and let it grow into that, it’s not obvious to me that these would lead to the same place.
