People who say this like its a bad thing don't understand how to bootstrap networks.

100,000 users on a network talking about 100,000 different topics dies in a matter of days, because there's literally nobody to talk to about *your* topic and no cohesion at all in the network. 100,000 users in one community is a solid network.

Look at every successful network in history, it *always* starts with an atomic, self sustaining network around a single community or purpose.

- Amazon. Only sold books.
- Uber, Lyft, and pretty much any rideshare service. All got a critical mass in ONE city before expanding.
- Airbnb. Started exclusively and got success in San Francisco.
- Napster. Started with almost exclusively music
- Facebook. Exclusively Harvard students
- Twitch.tv started as just one guy streaming his life and then targeted gamers.
- Pinterest, focused entirely on "mom-bloggers"

This list goes on and on. What he is describing is literally *the only way alternative networks are ever successful.* So contrary to the idea that this is bad, it's actually the only reason Nostr is still here. Because you can find most of the best bitcoiners, tons of great holistic lifestyle content, and cypherpunks wanting to build awesome shit.

That's actually a fantastic start and we should LEAN INTO THIS MORE, not steer away from it. We do so at our own detriment if we just complain about and fail to embrace the community we DO have.
- Tinder. Literally grew itself locally one frat and sorority party at a time.
