I'm seeing more spam on Nostr these days. I always said from the start that Nostr will eventually turn into trash when we get more users and I still stand by that.
The only reason it's not noticable now is because Nostr is still small. The solution is simple. It should cost 3 Satoshi to follow someone, Who gets the Satoshi? the person being followed, the relay and the client.
If you dont pay those 3 Satoshi then you can't like, zap it follow or interact with any profile.
That would be a massive first step to obliterate spammers. Spammers wouldn't pay.
The spam is ruining nostr. X is trash because of the spam and bots.
