100%. This is mostly an excuse. Post something about Bitcoin, a meme, or a picture of a steak, and you’ll have people interacting with your post for hours. People certainly do engage with older notes. I'm engaging with your note (and Victor's original) note right now, what, half an hour after it was originally posted?
The truth is, Nostr note visibility across the network unfortunately depends on one of the Nostr celebrity accounts with lots of followers interacting with it. This serves two purposes: first, it ensures others see it; second, it makes them feel "safe" engaging with it. You can blast your posts to every single popular relay on Nostr in milliseconds and still get no engagement if you're not posting about the right content with a celebrity account endorsing it.
So basically, being ignored on Nostr is partly due to centralisation around certain accounts and partly because most folks here are very picky about what they interact with.
The best solution is to stop chasing interactions. We need more people just doing their own thing. Talking to themselves using hashtags if necessary, as well as clicking on the hashtags that they have just used and boosting, zapping, and engaging with content from their favourite hashtags.
