Human beings have not evolved beyond Dunbars number. To assume that anyone *can* or *should* keep up with the interactions produced by people choosing to follow them, when they exceed Dunbars number by orders of magnitude is to ask them to be inhuman.

When the unrealistic expectations we have put on them are not being met we become aggrieved. We feel slighted because we were not interacted with as a fellow human should.

Are we justified being aggrieved, IMO no. The technology is putting us in situations that will create the kind of feeling, slighted on one side and apathy on the other. Either don’t use the technology or use it with the limits of humanity in mind.

You might be a Nostr Elite if...
1) You have over 1000 followers, but only post every couple of days or weeks.
2) You are famous from "someplace else", so you don't feel like you need to prove anything to anyone and expect everyone to recognize you from there.
3) You hardly follow anyone else, who isn't an elite, or your follow list is stale and you don't care.
4) You rarely repost anyone else's stuff or hang out in their threads.
5) You rarely respond to mentions or tags, unless they're from another elite, and you feel put-upon by them.
6) You don't actively search for new npubs to follow or interact with.
7) You mostly repost things you've posted elsewhere.
8) You post things and then only respond for a short time.
9) When someone reposts you, you don't feel curious to find out more about them.
10) You think there is no Nostr Elite.
