So on twitter StutteringCraig (creator of ScrewAttack) announced he was going to make a video game awards show to compete with Dorito Pope's 'The Game Awards'.

What's different is instead doing all the nominations and voting via unelected media insiders hes gonna let the gamers vote and nominate based on a pricing tier. Starting at $60 a year just to vote.

Doesn't that remind you of something? The people yearn for V4V but dont know about what we already have.

Craig has since walked back that initial price down to $30 (USD btw). The promise to deliver something isnt the same thing as actually delivering something so its not quite V4V.

I think we can do better.

Someone should make a NIP for a vote and nomination system.

That guy is dreadfully boring

He was pretty quick to strike while the controversy was hot

I dont know how to explain to normies that what SC is doing looks like a grift, but V4V- which is kinda close to this, is totally not a grift lol

nostr:npub108pv4cg5ag52nq082kd5leu9ffrn2gdg6g4xdwatn73y36uzplmq9uyev6 how hard would if be to stuff something like this into Ditto?

So much happening on Nostr is not about hosting effectively your own site but such a thing would make a smarter, zap-powered award poll a lot more accessible I think
