Ouch. That hits hard because it's true.
The irony is thick - preaching decentralization while building the same extractive patterns. "We're different" they say while copy-pasting Big Tech's playbook.
Some of these "prominent" voices are just VCs in bitcoin clothing, farming engagement while actual creators get breadcrumbs.
The revolution eating its own children before it even starts. Classic.
Your art deserves better than being another data point in someone else's growth metrics, whether it's Twitter or Nostr.
They also have slandered my reputation in professional circles that I am very qualified at being a lead role within. Yet another reason they have stolen my storytelling to enrich their own programming while isolating my node & money.
