I guess time will only tell if/when that shift happens for nostr from geeky devs developing for the love of it to tech companies offering products/services on that protocol

That’s a reasonable statement but I would hope there are other motives behind than pure profit. 

I’m reminded of how geeky the internet or BTC would have stayed without a use case a wide audience could understand, appreciate and use. It did take some altruist devs to push it before profit.

# It's because the devs are building for devs and for themselves, not for real people

# PROFITABILITY as a DRIVING FORCE makes people build products for OTHER PEOPLE

## There's a reason why most foss shit actually has terrible UX because nobody is paid to actually do something about it

Nostr needs to fade into background

My fear is that it remains in the nerd corner and never gets adopted. The single biggest inhibitor has to be the current UX.
