That’s not true of everyone, I think. I have a decent Twitter following but I don’t really even care about it because it feels cheap. What gets engagement over there mostly sucks, it’s drowning in bots, it has been basically overwhelmed with politics, the algorithm matters more than what people are actually interested in, and the bitcoiners that spend most of their time over there are mostly not the “real ones.” There are a few good ones left, but it just got cheapened over the years for sure.
Nostr is now my foundation and the other stuff is nice to have, but it’s like having a little piece of extra property that someone else keeps the keys to and you can’t even insure. Ok, it’s nice when you can use it, but it doesn’t feel like yours and you certainly can’t depend on it. Even more so if you have “unapproved” opinions on certain topics… of which I have no shortage. 😂
So I would say it’s unnecessarily pessimistic to think that’s necessarily how larger accounts see it. I think with enough time most will see it the opposite. Nostr is their real account and they get a bunch of extra fluff from YouTube, X and other “borrowed” networks when they are allowed to.
