Nice share! This tactic is quite old, and the worst part is that it's quite common. Many companies offer everything at the beginning, and once users are hooked, they start to bleed them dry. It's an old tactic that works. I hope that nostr and SN don't become one of these bad examples.

Nostr is a protocol not a business so while it has its own set of problems to solve the shitification as described here not is one of them.

I was referring to the business surrounding NOSTR. The protocol is fantastic.

Yeah, it's a common trick, just one that the internet's helped exacerbate. Like you, I hope SN and nostr don't go that route (though I'd suggest nostr is still not quite where it needs to be to even start enshittifying yet). I'd be surprised if SN did this based on what I've seen of the folks running it, but things do change over time (and that can include ownership).
