I found this essay to be less than uninteresting. I'm working on a more substantial response to it, but it just overall totally missed the mark for me and the "critiques of nostr" are misdirected at best. scapegoating at worst.
this isn't the first nor last time someone gets frustrated trying to "monetize/productize" a protocol - and before it's ready - yes, it's hard being early. but to also complain about the protocol's non-product-centric development (via grants and OSS) is a fairly mind-boggling addition....
I'm wondering what value you got from this piece, Lyn? I tried but failed. I read it with an open mind even though I personally think the author tends towards zero-sum bigotry in a way that turns me off, but try as I might I couldn't find anything valuable in the essay beyond additional signal that I don't need to be following Svetski.
