- I don't know what kind of users are the kind we want to have
- SN works for topics where there is a lot of stacker interest (bitcoin, nostr, ai, privacy, books, sports, etc). For topics with smaller stacker followings, SN is more difficult.
- SN definitely has high quality content that could attract nocoiners...but it doesn't always (or even often) make it outside SN
- Value prop is definitely proved.
- SN works without the rewards subsidy.
- I think most bitcoin-only, self custodial products are struggling right now. For starters, look at mempools...

I agree that this is technically correct, but do you think they would stick around? We're a pretty fringe bunch and I think normies would be turned off pretty fast.

I agree, but I'm trying to think about what it is exactly that normies get turned off by.
We might have strong opinions, but most people here seem willing to have a conversation with people who disagree with them.
But maybe that's exactly what turns people off.

That's part of it, for sure.
I'd say the same thing that makes me feel so at home would alienate most people: the prevailing SN worldview is not theirs and their operating assumptions will be challenged.
