An important point. Let's hope that it will be possible to keep using nostr for a long time without damaging algorithms taking over the relay business and turning them into something no one really wants

Holy shit, I think I just realized a direct and concrete way that I’ve personally experienced to how #Nostr completely changes the social incentives:

• Rage and hateful posts on Twitter get the most attention.
• Positive and happy posts on Nostr get the most zaps.

It really was just monetization all the time.

When attention is the currency, negativity and hate rise to the top because the platforms need people arguing.

When sats directly from peers are the currency, value rises to the top.

(Anyone else feel they’ve had this same experience?)
