I think the underlying assumption I'd challenge is why was "reach" the default metric that we're using for success? Should increased 'reach' be our end goal with nostr? Yes, you might only be able to ...
That's true, the concept of 'following' is about to change on Nostr. It's still a relic from the LSM days, and a lot of Nostr developers have a hard time letting it go. For me, it's already the case that I follow tons of people without formally following them, through the Tribes feature. And I 'follow' a bunch of people now not because their posts interest me, but because of what they sell on the NIP-99 marketplace (I'll decouple that eventually inshallah) and so their offers get sprinkled into my timeline.
