i don't know what his conflicts of interest are but he is speaking like someone who is intellectually conflicted

well, if the game is high quality user experience and content, then SN is miles ahead. i use nostr a lot and use primal plus others and the experience is still very bad. i see all comments and content here. over there it is hit or miss.
