Since we are all in control of our Nostr feeds, why would we need non-Bitcoin clients to support non-Bitcoin content? Wouldn't it still end up in Global anyway? And if it does, we just do what we already do: follow the content creators who create the content we want to see. Anyone can start using Nostr. But no one is forced to follow them.

As a non-bitcoin person myself (as in I had no idea who Odell was before joining Nostr, nor did I have any idea that laser-eyed avatars were a thing) I think a client aimed at non-bitcoin people shouldn't be one without zaps. Zaps via Primal with its built-in wallet that can be topped up over iOS feel no different than virtual currencies the likes of which you would top up in a casual mobile game. I think other non-bitcoin people would have a great time with zaps without at first needing to know anything about what's under the hood (at least if coming on via a client that had an integrated wallet, that's the key). Just like buying gems or gold. A cool feature, fun, something to promote rather than hide away. And when it’s time to cash out, well then instant motivation to figure out the basics. I think it's other aspects of clients that are resulting in the overall low retention rate.
