I ran Umbrel for 3+ years. It was solid.

While Nostr can be considered a social network it is important to understand what to expect if you are someone who is currently reliant upon the legacy platforms for any type of income.

The legacy platforms operate with an algorithm driven strategy that is designed for attention capture and to maximize time on that platform with the intent of blasting you with advertisements.

If you are using these platforms and have reached a level of monetization you can not expect that same level of income from a peer to peer based monetary exchange program.

Although it may be difficult to hear, most of the content on the legacy platforms does not have a lot of inherent value. Success on your current platform likely means you are producing content that effectively captures human attention. There is big difference between content/information that is attention capturing or alluring vs valuable. By monetarily rewarding the quality of content that is specifically effective at attention capture platforms are able to deploy powerfully addictive algorithms that prey on psychological receptors in order to trigger various emotions and retain attention.

There is no such dynamic within the current social frame of the nostr network. If you are looking to make money you will need to provide something so valuable that other people decide to pay you for it.

We traveled “in bitcoin” before it was a thing. Me and Rikki started “Bitcoin Explorers“ in El Salvador in 2021, then kept moving: Central America, Asia, the Middle East, Europe, Africa. And ...

Social Media and the broader internet have become this distorted version of the "American Dream"

The digital world is sold and framed as the land of opportunity

Putting words to it is very hard

Why is it that most people that become "successful" with social media or online ventures all end up in the exact same place? They end up selling courses to teach others how to achieve the "success" they portray.

The "content" is nothing more than a display of a desired way of life that funnels others into a course that extracts money from others by preying on their personal frustrations. And the course is meant to tell you how you can create your own course to tell others how to create their own course...

It's just one giant pyramid scheme with no real value, just massive amounts of people doing unproductive things designed to capture attention and increase time-on-platform

All controlled by centralized corporations with very specific goals

One of the most ironic things to me is when I see people on the major platforms, with a spiritual/sovereign/freedom related message or theme telling to people "Escape the Matrix" by becoming a content creator.

The matrix is created and enforced by the corporations they are creating content for. Selling courses to encourage others to start making content for the platforms.

Like I said, its very hard to put words too and you did it very well🧡
