And just like nostr can benefit from RSS...

RSS/pc2.0 can benefit from Nostr's community. Yes, nostr is difficult to learn. Yes, integrating nostr can be a pain in the ass. Yes, you already have solutions and sometimes nostr feels like shoehorning it in...

...but nostr offers more than just a tech upgrade. Nostr's giga brain pool brings a slew of devs who can build slick UIs. A whole bunch of autistic cat and dog avatar devs who can optimize and streamline data. A whole bunch of bitcoin tech plebs who can collecticely do more research in a day than a single adam curry in a year. And we have a social network that believes in the power of bitcoin, helping the underdog, and sticking it to the man (traditional music industry in this case). But they wont do it unless it's worth their time and its being used by nostriches.

Ok, well theres, a ton of orange pilled music fans that are also decentralized freedom enthusiasts. I'd bet they'd be willing to give decentralized music a shot as soon as its nostr-fied. Just look at wavlake and the support it gets because its nostr native and became a part of the nostr community.

Sometimes one step back lets us move two steps forward instead of constantly banging into a wall out of stubbornness. I say this with love.
Me: we need nostr native demu apps that use rss
Nostr Devs: we dont need rss, we have better tech

No, but you need the *back catalog* of tracks available only on rss. You need the *distribution network* that RSS has. You need the *publishing* network that is RSS.

Integrating RSS is more than just filling in the tech stack. It may not be the best tech solution in your eyes, but it works well and it comes with extremely valuable and large chunks of the pieces needed for a robust music industry, already built in.

I'm looking at this from 21,000 feet in the air and 21 years in the future.
