Oh yeah, we know that one all too well. Same old pattern. Surefire recipe to run a global community straight into the ground: bring in the commercial suits. The fiat boys.

Back in the blogging days, between 1999 and 2005, the blogosphere was made up of a bunch of authentic, weird characters. Then the commercial companies moved in, brought along a ton of forced, inauthentic PR stuff (including the first "influencers" who sold out to brands) and just like that, the OGs were done with it. A few bad apples spoiled the whole barrel.

Same thing with Twitter, those two surely remember, there was authentic, credible citizen journalism. That's how it grew up. Then commerce came in, along with inauthentic professional journalists, and now we've got Elon's Shitter.

And since that worked out so great so far, we'll happily repeat the whole thing with Nostr. Bring 'em in, the Fucko Bells and Pizza Fucks, after all everyone was just waiting for it. Yeah. But hopefully it turns out different this time and the suits fail miserably this time around. Otherwise humanity really deserves the shittification of the internet.
