Totally unrelated NGL, saw your profile name, thought I'd fond chiptune music... Not actual chips. 🤣

lol, it's from my past, automotive calibration engineering. aka chip tuning in the older days!

Nostr is a chance for us to rehumanize social media. We can't do it with only a Twitter-style timeline feed. That's an important view, but it's become so all-consuming.

Exactly…imagine if social media was actually social

came for the tech stayed for the frens

And bruh setup your lightning address so I can hit you with some generational wealth!

I am hoping for a better interaction than the other centralised platform. 2 weeks on Nostr consistent posting. However, I noticed that as a community we are all responsible of what type of content we promote to engage or how we engage. Otherwise, the people will be the same but the tech is different. Real value, humanise more our interactions and not just a number, a metric of engagement.

Well I only joined for #coffeechain. So ☕☕☕☕☕☕

Working on it!

I think it can be :)

I mean using it as medium to discover people, and therefor irl opportunities. I use and encourage others to only use "social media" for about 30 mins or less per day. I usually stick to that. That's all I've ever used socials for. My previous time spent on Facebook was inside communities. It landed my previous job and one of my closest irl friends, and helped me build a small technical community in my previous work field, of which I still get to speak with and on rare occasions meet up with, even though I'm no longer active in automotive. That's been my experience mostly positive. I've never used Twitter and other short form social apps but from what Ive understood over the years my experience was a bit more underground.

Yeah I mean at the moment, were just kind of one bit community. No quiet niches yet so I think that's true. I've never used twitter but I imagine this is why the genuine human interaction side failed miserably imo.

Ad-driven "Infuencer" social media: Reach > Quality Zap driven nostr: Reach < Quality

In the long time preference yes. I really dream of the period where creators produce enough value in their content they can sustain themselves. Although I don't know that I believe that the idea that content itself is sustaining, I believe it still should have a business component to it, but free markets should prove me right or wrong. I think in the short term, if we stick on the path were on, ad monetization is nearly impossible on the platforms themselves, so it's a good thing long term, loss aversion in the short term for on-boarding. In many ways ads become a plague imo. Ads are necessary, and I do think people want to be advertised too, but it goes too far every time. OTA, cable, streaming platforms, etc. Anyway I'm excited for that future and hope we as builders can stay focused on that because the legacy systems don't want that.

In almost every case sponsorship of a podcast in the bitcoin space is indication of a poor quality product that is losing market share. Maybe a few bad eggs stink up the entire lot, but its becoming a pattern. The problem with B2C direct advertising is its rarely done to inform, but to brainwash. When a "creator" takes on a sponsor, 98% of the time, they are selling the social capital they built with their audience to the purpose of brainwashing through subconcious manipulation to the benefit of a third party of ambiguous character. As a business trying to navigate this "sales and marketing" space, its looking a whole lot more like S&M than lead generation and business development (yea I knowz loaded terms) and I have yet to be convinced its effective if not immoral at its foundation.

Can totally agree and usually the excuse is "well that's just the way business is if you want to keep sharing your message" "take the good with the bad" type stuff. I think there is some truth to that, but maybe we have better tools now it's just a matter of getting there. I was mining in 2012-2013 before one of the first big price spikes (10-100 usd), difficulty soared and asics of the time became obsolete. I didn't know what I was doing and stepped out of the "community" I was pretty young anyway and didn't have the money to keep up. I got back into "bitcoin" media and stuff a few years ago and it's so much different that it was. And it seems like majority of the media was captured by suits. Just a strange observation from outside looking in. I don't think there are clear parallels to what bitcoin was back then other than most of the tools were hacked together with $0 in budget :)
