The number of users is almost irrelevant in the context of Nostr because many clients generate a new ID. These aren't email-verified/phone-verified users -- this is literally just a new key/ID being generated.

Some web apps auto-create a new ID and join the network every time you use them.

Also, the signal to noise ratio is really bad with a lot of spam and almost all discussions related in some way to crypto.

Nostr has potential as a technology but the current demographic is basically a social network full of crypto fans.
