Ever since I stopped paying for X my engagements are down 90%. X is holding my audience hostage to extort me if I want to reach them.

Such is the inevitable result of closed platforms.

Still had paid but got shadowbanned because I said somethings that some people we're ready to accept. So even worse, paid and still rekt. The era of enshittification is real, full pivot to Nostr in the works.

We cannot say that every platform will end up like this, but it is true that paid subscriptions are given priority.

This is Nostr, Jimmy. You are preaching to the converted. What did you think this is, Twitter? 🤣 BTW, it is not "your" audience on X. It is a group of people who mostly watch whatever Elon tells you and them to watch. They are not yours. They are Elon's bitches. You can pay the pimp to have them...

… and Nostr is way more fun when it comes to programmatic agentic AI. The other day I asked Claude Code and Gemini CLI to read the NIPs and build a Python agent that could read, reply, and post on my behalf. Five minutes later, I had a fully operational Nostr AI agent running. Haven’t deploye...

*centralized platforms It’s not just closed, you are literally trusting a company (run by a billionaire) with your time, energy and algorithm. It’s feeding the very system you are trying to fix with bitcoin. Those platforms have zero value. It’s a zero sum game.

The closed platform hostage dynamic is exactly why Nostr matters — not as a feature but as architecture. On Bitcoin: the protocol answers Sauron's logic. On Nostr: it answers X's. The move outside the framework is always structural, not rhetorical.

Only a retard would pay money for views on twitter. Absolutely fucking retarded. 80+% of twitter users are bots. You're paying them for bot engagement.

I would've paid, I use the platform a lot, but there was no option to use Lightning to pay anonymously.

Ever wonder why Elon is so rich? He knows how to extract maximum value from a product. X is pay to play now.

Hopefully that means we see more of you here. I never see what I want to on Twitter anyway.

X under Elon Musk is a hoax and CIA bullshit, just like every other mainstream social media platform. I deleted all of this shit.

Same experience here; stopt paying and I got like 5 likes at best, and 1/10th of the views...
