I keep hearing talks about people wanting to grow nostr by solving the spam problem:
You know one absolutely retarded idea that only vibe coding devs think normal people will be okay with that would actually stop adoption outright?
Making nostr pay-to-use.
The Normie apps are the norm because they are free and convenient. Being expected to "top up your credits" to participate is the #nostr equivalent of "energy" to play games on mobile.
This will KILL nostr if it fixates as a norm.
