Thats where the magic happens yes.
Your ultimate goal should be to disappear.
(Take Satoshi as an example!)
A diluted version would be to strive to achieve that when possible, and try to avoid any form of ego (again very, very difficult as there are so many traps and they are actively promoted by society & authority).
Think thats a big flaw in all social media - it focusses on likes, follows, identity, etc - pure ego.
You definitely don't want to be a dead-on-the-inside asshole building your "personal brand". This will only hurt you long term.
Many rely on this for making money which is another big issue. It propagates the problem. We end up with false prophets that don't offer anything you can't find out for yourself (often with a much better understanding), and just end up wrapped up in themselves.
Being generous to them they may in some cases offer info in a distilled form, but convenience has a huge cost.
Shortcuts are very rare, if they even exist. Nothing worth having comes easy.
NOSTR can address this.
Do away with the identities - the "big" personalities & make it solely about the conversation & growth. Accounts become anonymous but those offering value can still be financially rewarded.
Everyone becomes equal as any form of id is gone.
