I like when the reality of the protocol forces us to think about better ways to represent things like follow counts. Trying to copy centralized concepts is not going to work on a decentralized network. Luckily realizations like this will push us in a much better direction: measuring meaningful connections between individuals and displaying that instead.

Key takeaways:
- over half the Nostr listed relays are using some sort of spam mitigation technique(s)
- the attack was still achieveable
- socal media is easily manipulated
- follower counts and engagement are worthless
- content is the real treasure
