I'm too old to use the word ' vlog'. I'm going to keep calling them 'videos' until the day I die :) Thanks for the video 🤪👍🤜🏻

Transcript: Good morning, Nostr. I wanted to start this vlog because I think there's a lot of important stuff on Nostr and incentives are much better. See, the current model on most social media platforms is to get you to click, add and view and look so that they can sell more advertising. That's not necessarily that bad, but the way it's evolved is that they want you to be addicted to their content more than they want you to be enriched or enlightened or get some insight out of these videos. And that's what's led to doom scrolling at this point, where people look through content because their hindbrain sort of engages with it and doesn't actually get much out of it. The actual intellectual part doesn't get much out of it. So that's what I think needs to be changing is better incentives and Nostr has that, because honestly, if this video find somebody that actually really appreciates or is enlightened by it or enriched by it, then they're going to zap me a lot more than somebody that's just viewing. Cause really what happens on these social media platforms is that you're always catering to the marginal user. And marginal users in general are not very sophisticated or insightful. Nostr is not for the marginal user. It's for people that are at the center and that's who I wanna be making videos for. That's I think the far more interesting thing. I heard a while back a tweet by my friend David Perrell. I think he was saying something like ten years ago, best stuff on YouTube was people sharing something that was really interesting or at some interesting insight into some historical event or something like that. And now the most popular videos are Mr Beast, it's just slop. It's just stuff that to get you to watch and not enrich your life in any way. And I think what Nostr can do is put us back into that space of having videos, having content, having images and stuff which are more powerful than, than text by far that actually enriches you, that add something to your life. So that's the hope, that's what I'm hoping that this whole platform becomes really, but also for a lot of these videos, these vlogs and so on. Because if you zap, you can basically tell these people that are making these things, hey, good job. Go make more of it. So incentive alignment is a huge thing and , that's why this is important

Well said

vlog is the word used by old people who were young in the 2000s

I think nostr will become shit like youtube if it grows, but still on nostr there are many ways to segregate and carve a space for yourself and for the content that matters, unlike on youtube or any other platform, so because of that it's worth trying

I'm liking NOSTR more and more.

🤙

I started making videos for YouTube in 2006 or 2007. I have more than 2000 video on my channel, and they will always be videos or 'video lessons'. Vlog is obviously video blog, but I'm not a blogger. I'm a teacher

Hopium about the future of Nostr. I am extremely sceptic after 3 years among braindead communists, jewhaters, lolbertarians and pseudo intellectual Bitcoin Maxis. Good luck.

Thought that was a halo around your head but then realized it was just a cowboy hat. 😂

This is the kind of content we need more of here 👏.

yes, I think vlog is a special subtype of video

Your Nostr feed is your diet for your brain. Follow what entertains you, but don’t forget to sprinkle in something that challenges your thinking or makes you smarter. A new follow for me. View quoted note →

Great stuff! Real positive Something is changing. View quoted note →

Thak you. Luck only comes once. We'll take it wen here. h/t @HODL

Nostr has the right incentives and as bitcoiners we know that no one is better than their incentives. This is why Nostr has the best content and why Nostr will win. View quoted note →

Jimmy on the Vlogs, fair play.

Would be hilarious if one of the badass devs creates a bot to cross post the most zapped v logs to the normie platforms telling them how many sats are being earned in the open market View quoted note →

I think it is pronounced 'veelogging' (Marty said)

Not watching. He is just going to talk about Jesus way too much

You mean vlessons? Or maybe vteachings 🤔😉

Bro I doom scroll on nostr lmao 😵

we tested zaps on this note… your profile only specifies a nip05 nostr address, but not a lightning address, so we tried to zap your nip05 address.... we made three attempts to⚡zap this note, at thgexksonq@zaps.lol, over a period of 30 minutes. in each case, we found that your lightning address service or server did not respond correctly. if you wanted to fix this... you could try getting a free rizful lightning address --

Rizful: Lightning Services

Free Lightning vaults, and instant, disposable Lightning Nodes.

... if u get it set up, pls reply here so we can do this ⚡zap test again.

I am currently learning how this platform works. This video's content was encouraging. Thank you for creating it.

Your decision to share your journey on Nostr is already inspiring a lot of people and resonates with me. @jack has talked about this at length, and I expect more users to make the switch over time. Not to mention some platforms like X claim to stand for free speech while arbitrarily censoring content. Keep going!⚡

No you bloom scroll lol

to be honest this gives me some hope for nostr. i have only seriously been playing around with it for a few days and frankly have been disappointed with the lack of content diversity. most of it seems pretty niche, btc focused and lots of memes. this is maybe 5% of why i consume social media. the remaining 95% should be: >real time (news) information >interesting takes by interesting people >moments of learning >discussions View quoted note →

value for value

Nostr is a movement View quoted note →

100%

The doomscrolling is draining finite human life

Couldn't agree more

Tutorial on how to set up this socalled "Vlog"?

I don't care. What is it about social media making it all about themselves?

1.) Record amazing clips of yourself saying fun things 2.) Post clips to Vlogstr.com 3.) Be a vlogger

Thanks, Patrick. Will do. So, livestreaming is not possible with vlogstr.com?

Vlogstr doesn't yet support direct live streams yet. There are other awesome clients that do though! Check out zap.stream or ShoSho from the @Zapstore for some good options to get started.

Agreed. The problem with "content creators" is they create content whether they have something to say or not. If you have something to say, say it. If you don't listen to others. The rule used to be, you have 2 ears and one mouth. Listen twice as much as you speak. I think this would be a good guideline to follow here. View quoted note →

Chasing short-lived thrills drains your time. I focus on mastering my craft, honing real skills, and creating what only I can. Every moment is precious.

Sharing my string playing and music here has been a game changer in just one week of posting! Loving it here 💜

needs better image stabilisation software, or just a physical handheld thingy to smoothen the experience

I have felt this about corporate social media for years. It's gotten so tiring being on there... between the constant ads, low vibration content, and the continuous onslaught of stuff tuned to the algorithms. Nostr is a relief, both for posting and consuming content. View quoted note →
