> quirky terms like 'valueforvalue' and 'boosting'
Don’t forget “zapping”. Yeah this stuff is horrible, no offense. Like the “pura vida” and 🤙 stuff. When you’re on the outside of it, you just scoff and move on. It doesn’t intrigue you and make you want to try to get in to what is apparently the exclusive club.
Economically though, “value 4 value” fails because nobody wants to make a financial decision every 2 seconds. It fills your leisure time with anxiety when you think about the burn rate of your capital lol.
Subscriptions won for that reason. Pay once a month and then just have fun for that whole month, not thinking about it.
Now could bitcoin and nostr offer a better solution to streaming subscriptions than Spotify? Maybe! Would be interesting to see. I guess
@jack probably already is doing that with Tidal?
