The payouts aren’t based purely on numbers though, plenty have whinged that they get more impressions than others and had lower payouts.
Xitter is putting their thumb on the scales to incentivise the content they want on the platform, perhaps you’ve just fallen into the shit tier of content in their eyes?
Either way the whole incentive structure there is fukt now; they’re encouraging meme theft, clickbait threads, and corpo-friendly garbage and the blue checks will race to the bottom to get theirs. Will be fun to watch!
I'm sure we will see subscription models on Nostr if we don't already have that, paid in sats of course.
The problem is getting the traffic to Nostr to make zaps + subscriptions matter. I'm sure we will get there eventually.
Twitter/X will likely evolve into a social credit system in the coming years, since an 'everything app' is a giant honeypot for government opinion-engineering.
I meant to write 'opinion- and behavior engineering', to be more precise.

Bait and switch. I expect nothing less from an Elon Musk enterprise.
I agree. Zapping a 100 sats or receiving 100 sats feels good but its literally dust. I do see that a collection of dust overtime with hyperbolic BTC price 10, 20, 30 years down the line will be significant though. Just like mining BTC in 2009. That was dust too, but now look at. It turned solid.
So the first payout is big to get you addicted and then you chase that high
