There is no such attention farming capability on nostr. But what I think happened was that people saw how people are manipulated to behave on platforms and assumed that was normal, organic behavior, and that people would behave the same on nostr. I think we proved that isn&#39;t the case pretty definitely at this point. &#xA;&#xA;I don&#39;t think nostr is by any measure a failure. I think people just had the wrong ideas and expectations about it. Let them wash out, and the ecosystem will adjust. </html></oembed>
