This is prescient.
Reading about The WELL, 'humdog' and Second Life. Feels like this deserves a whole Down the Rabbit Hole.

But with Nostr, YOU get to profit from the commodification of your soul!

'The Board Ho' - an article by humdog. Just in case you wanted further reading lol.
She writes in lowercase only - my sympathy is somewhat diminished.
Come on, could be worse. Could be all caps lol.
Amazing that back then "boardho" was a niche category of computer user rather than, you know, 90-odd percent of the population.
Also funny to see web-savvy people from 2004 calling her a commie nut in the comments because she dared suggest that corporations were datamining forum posts.
The normalisation of boardho-ing. Apparently she's mentioned in Adam Curtis' All Watched Over by Machines of Loving Grace. Which I can't remember at all. So will have to rewatch.
But yes, writing from the frontier of the clout economy
Rewatching Adam Curtis' All Watched Over By Machines of Loving Grace cos of reading this earlier.

Don't sell your soul.
Sell your fiat instead.

Being negative fiat.. “just let your soul glow”
And receive zaps for your thoughts… V4V is the building block people needed to be directly paid for their creativity. 
Fiat drains the soul. Bitcoin feeds it.
This.
I think people are conscious of this. It has become cringe to share personal opinions on platforms like Facebook. The commoditization of our content has led to a cold and withdrawn social interaction online.
Given that the quote is a realization, curious that they don’t say what their soul was sold FOR.
