Yeah, been researching and Twitter and ChatGPT actually use SSE, not websockets. They're streaming out, not in.
You only need one-way streaming, as the client knows when you are writing. There is normally no use case on Nostr for two-way streaming, in fact, since we don't really have live chats.

my primary concern comes from the amount of parallel streams. WS excels in this as it is one connection according to the browser and in the underlying stack.
In Nostr you can have many active subscriptions for new events.
even WITH chats it still makes no sense to add all that extra complexity
if it was streaming audio/video, different story. but then you would use RTP instead anyway.
