Email is not fit for purpose anymore. It wasn't designed with this scale in mind, and the patchwork fixes required to make it functional en masse caused it to become centralized. To get into someone's inbox you have to proceed through a matrix of gatekeepers and security checks. Plus, people are exhausted from email slop now anyways. Web of trust, mute lists, and Nostr clients that filter to your preference will be much better.

Email has been a businesses' only true owned internet channel.

It worked for a long time, but now everyone has an inbox that looks like a landfill. You have to be exceptional to get opened consistently.

Then you hit the bigger problem. How do you even build an email list without relying on another platform you do not control? You need ads or a big social account just to get people onto the list you supposedly own.

Nostr changes that dynamic.

Nostr feels like social media and email had a kid. It is the best of both worlds. You get the reach and scalability of a social network and the permanence and ownership of an email list.

No one can ban you and you do not have to sacrifice anything for that except being early...for now.

For the first time, you can build an audience that grows like a social feed and belongs to you like an inbox. A real owned channel that can scale on its own.

For the first time, you can have your cake and eat it too.
