What if you got paid Bitcoin for every ad you watched?

I got this all wrong Zaps aren't replacing Likes at @nextblock Reposts are replacing Likes My prediction is that if you take away the Like button, people will instead primarily hit Repost. It's free to do and actually helps the creator. "Like" does nothing but steal the creator's attention for a second when they have to view a notification. So if you like something, prove it. Repost it. Where there is no algorithm. And everyone wants to see good content. If you don't like it enough to Repost, you don't like it. View quoted note โ†’

Likes are Fiat. Zaps are Bitcoin. (Literally) Likes/reactions are dark patterns. Zaps will free us. The design specs for the @nextblock video player have been set. Zaps will replace Likes. There will be no "like" button. Double tap to zap. IT HAS BEEN WRITTEN (in a notion ticket)

Did you know that @nextblock is building a full-screen vertical video feed experience? I think I've subconsciously left it out of any marketing we've produced because if I mention this people immediately will say "oh like tiktok" And it derails the open mind I need them to have while I explain the whole *revolutionary* concept. Not just the UX. But yes. Like tiktok. A full screen that forces your attention on only one thing. And video only so it feels immersive. This is what we're seeing added to every other platform. Reels. YouTube shorts. Even Reddit has a video feed on mobile. This is the preferred user experience of our time. Globally. But a smooth video scroll app is expensive to build. Premium creators expect a perfect UX. And that's who we want to attract. They'll bring their fans. That's where the #attentionmarketplace comes in. We fund it with ads but people watching get most of the cut. Thanks to Nostr, Bitcoin, and AI we can keep costs low. People can zap creators they like. People can also curate scroll experiences for others and get paid ad revenue. Boom! A digital circular economy with a neverending Bitcoin faucet. (I'm working on the storyboard for our first ad today and can you tell I'm HYPED!)
