I think the market discovery of #nostr boils down to this essentially:
People who generate content want engagement of some kind, validation, etc, so they want their note on as many relays as possible to create as many opportunities as possible and often enough (reposts occur) it will appear in a follower feed without an algo to dig it up too far from the past (this dynamic also involves note viewer follow list as this dictates the size of their feed and how fast the creator’s last note gets buried under other new notes and loses it’s opportunity for engagement it might have had, competition right?)
When you start looking at nostr in this way I think you realize quickly how many more different opportunities a note has here for a “life” or not of sorts depending on a bunch of different factors such as relays, follows, and timing of events such as the original note and frequency of reposts which that even has options: say the creator may spam it re-noting often manually or automatically but that creates a mute motivation for users who already viewed it and don’t care to spend time considering it again… at any given time a note’s metrics can change and those qualities be interpreted as how successful the note is. Did it end up on many relays you’re not paying for and get lots of re-notes though? If yes, Good job!
I think what I’m getting at is if you’re upset about the unpredictable nature of nostr or how to earn a living off it’s dynamics or that it requires more effort than Facebook or X somehow you gotta understand fundamentals like how you could think of nostr as 50,000 Zucks, Elons, and Dorseys each had their own Facebook or X or whatever and then linked them all together to see wtf would happen, well this is it. Lol (nostr zucks have not configured too many algos and ads yet but I imagine the successful ones will over time.)
So yeah. GM to all my peer zucks and elons and jacks! 👋🏻 have a great day you mad sovereign social engineers 🫡
