People really struggle with understanding the difference between companies, platforms, and products vs protocols. The beauty of nostr is that it is a protocol and people aren’t locked in. However, it’s also true, and I think very likely, that companies and products will be built on top of the protocol. That’s a good outcome. I kind of laugh at the posts on here demanding a perpetually free, censorship-free, anything goes social media experience where apps are developed and maintained without subscription fees, advertising, or business models. Sustainability of the protocol and the ecosystem that supports user choice should be the goal. There may be apps and relays that can meet that standard and that will be great for some users. Others may host their own relays which is fine and good. Still others may be using the protocol within some other experience like a media app and be wholly unaware of how it works. The key is that the user can own their social graph and their content. They can choose the experience that is best for them.
