I think a mistake Nostr devs have made is trying to put all the content into Nostr, eg Wikipedia articles. NIP-73 is the greatest thing ever. You can just reference web content by URL and then pull it...
Good for a temporary migration bridge but not enough long-term.
We want to re-identify the internet as deeply as possible, so the article example would incentivise everyone to still write long-form content without nostr references in the content.
Another problem is that content can be mutated behind the URL so a Wikipedia article that you loved can (and will) become subject to psyop propaganda and the things you said about don't apply anymore.
I don't want that risk at all, if we want to do this we need to make things nostr native and tamper resistant.
URLs are a threat to this. Perhaps nsites are better. Even with books and other stuff we should still put them on blossom not just use an ISBN.
