Holy shit, I think I just realized a direct and concrete way that I’ve personally experienced to how #Nostr completely changes the social incentives:

• Rage and hateful posts on Twitter get the most attention.
• Positive and happy posts on Nostr get the most zaps.

It really was just monetization all the time.

When attention is the currency, negativity and hate rise to the top because the platforms need people arguing.

When sats directly from peers are the currency, value rises to the top.

(Anyone else feel they’ve had this same experience?)

Agreed and to add, it hit me during last weeks 2024 Bitcoin Nashville conference watching remotely online, with the sophistication level of AI assisted compute power now available in the hands of scammers, traditional social media platforms across all non-PUB/PRIV key platforms are obsolete… if yo...

nicely put! can you help me close this gap in my thinking - web2 discovery mechanisms served content which held the users attention the longest. long app usage times = more ad revenue. in nostr, positive and happy posts get the most zaps - i hear you so does it mean that we were following the...

I think it's the lack of algorithm that does that, more than anything else. I've noticed that Facebook seems to show my posts primarily to those most likely to be angered by them, rather than to those most likely to appreciate them. And then because the algorithms are also built "the rich get richer...

There's also something to be said about no take-backs. If you post it, you better be comfortable with it forever!

Completely! Zapping incentive model doesn’t incentivize trolling or negativity unless it’s some neat shitposting 😜

I see what you’re doing here… you’re just trying to get more zaps by adding positive value 🤔

I predicted this when i first heard of nostr

A challenge will be that it could become a kind of onlyfans though.
