Although I agree with you, I'm also not 100% convinced by this system here that could either lead to majority tyranny (especially in commercial marketplaces, it's not just social media here) and thereby enable a quasi-monopolization of individual providers, or eventually introduce a certain trust or reputation system - even eventually must - to cope with growing numbers of participants.

Google started the same way. Completely innocent and fair in the beginning. Then came some villains who could easily deceive several honest participants. Then came the countermeasures and a reputation system and Page Rank, and now we have today's Google. Rewinding repeatedly and still following the same path is also not the solution.

The Internet itself is already the most decentralized system. Nostr is just a small garden within it. We are merely repeating the same behavioral patterns here due to a lack of truly innovative ideas.
