I normally work on a different principle. So firstly I make things I want to use myself. And preferably that I can recommend to my friends. Many of whom are non techie. So, for example I can recommend bitcoin, because it's fair, innovative, and a level playing field, as far as possible, imho. Could I recommend a service where the norm is to take their (possibly exclusive) content and posts it elsewhere? No, that's not OK. Nostr was built as a small corner of the web that tried to aspire to be a bit better. So just because, say OpenAI are doing bad things (thanks for pointing it out, btw), doesnt mean it should translate to nostr. A reasonable user expectation would be they publish to the places they want, and if others republish that, they need consent, or user can be unhappy. Nostr itself says nothing about storage, replay attacks, or republishing, it just transmites, notes, and other stuff, from one user to another. Basic cypherpunk principle is not to harm the user, imho. Whether or not republishing does, is something that can be debated.
