So there is now a four-way race for micro-blogging, short-post chatty-value things:
1. Substack Notes, emails + $$ subscriptions
2. Musk Twitter + Blue + Super Follows..??
3. Nostr + Bitcoin lightning ⚡
4. Mastodon + ??
Substack has a good shot at it with Notes, because Musk seems intent on sinking Twitter (cultural problems); Nostr is still way outside almost everybody’s technical comfort zone (edge tech dev culture, Bitcoin maxis, access with key pairs, etc.); and Mastodon is too slow and sluggish and split up across its “fediverse” (more strange cultural things).
Substack and Nostr are the two that are open about generating income for content creators/writers/artists/analysts being a good thing and built in to the experience. Value creation and flow is good. And this makes sense from a network perspective because those accounts end up being the hubs most of the action is centred around, and then the hubs talk to the hubs and all the rest. Musk, inexplicably given his reputation as a business genius, has not understood this part for Twitter.
