I'd like to answer as non offensive as possible. Here are my thoughts:
1. Do you think people who are used to ads interrupting their conversations for such a long time (+ the free is good mentality + simply no money) will be driven to Nostr because they prioritize censorship resistance and numerous, at the moment ( no offence ) incomplete apps over a smooth and easy gb limit at other social media?
2. Do you think someone who is used to uploading long content on Twitter, TikTok, or Facebook Video will be able to upload long content without knowing how to pay for it, as they may not know about Bitcoin or have a wallet balance? Could we change this?
3. Do you think it's possible to provide a minimum initial balance (maybe funding) for new users when they onboard, so they cab decide to make it more via more interaction or to upload long content or else ? This would generate its own value and make it much easier for new users, who are not ( yet) into Nostr or Bitcoin ideas. There’s more variants of let’s say exchange rather than blackmailing( a bit harsh , but you get me ?) into payments, don’t you think ?
I never doubted that micro-payments are the solution for users and devs longterm. But I could say "have fun" if the active 1% ( https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/1%25_rule ) creators abandon Nostr because they don't know how to or can’t upload long content. I think making uploading bigger files smooth is a priority for attracting new users. Think of news, of live postings etc
It may not seem important, but I've been discussed lots of similar topics with my cousin, a Ruby Core Dev, and we've looked at it from a holistic perspective. Ppl actually do care and wahr to think and work with you, just ask them. For me, decentralisation from a user perspective is not about quantity, but about a mix of form follows function/UX, and unique offerings. Users should not have to be confused with the „politics“ behind it.
My two cents. Y’all making an incredible job. Thank you 🙏🏽
