Got it, so you're thinking of nostr as just a twitter replacement I'd assume?
If that's the case then maybe I'd agree with you, but that's the network effect, rather than a technical problem, is it not? Twitter had the same problem at the start, "how do we get people to use this, if people aren't using this?"
Nostr is honestly so much more than just twitter, it's honestly better to compare it to a layer on top of http that handles identity, decentralized data publishing and validation, and it just so happens that twitter (kind 1) apps are among the easiest to develop. Personally the microblogging/kind 1 is the least exciting part of nostr to me.
What I meant by that, in case you're not technically inclined, is that many more applications can be built (and are being built) on this protocol, and with the twitter-clones we're just scratching the surface!
