Nostr will reward genuine creators who participate in the protocol by creating authentic relationships instead of using it as a megaphone, a tool for promotion.
Simply sharing your content won’t get you as far as actually interacting with people.
People coming from other platforms are in for a rude awakening if they think they can copy and paste their links and just watch it all work. nostr:note1d3c7z9fhsal6u5r56jhxagz4w7zxktepnp355sqtmsycnqqyxxgshjcavy
100% agree
He can be considered a public figure. It’s not the same
I agree. I love finding others here to learn from and link with. It’s more meaningful to reply to posts too
I’m curious what you mean by when you mention copy and paste their links? I simply shared a Substack link this morning; is that not okay to do here?

Some influencers, creators, artists copy their tweets over word for word with direct links to their content and expect it to work. But this is a poor way to promote on nostr. They treat it as a backup, an afterthought and expect engagement.
There are no rules on what you share but people will respond very different if you’re active and a genuine person who talks to people, rather than simply using them to get eyeballs on your stuff.
It’s not a nostr rule, it’s the basis of any relationship building.
It's ok to share Substack links,
until Nostr has a suitable replacement 😏
Thanks! What do you imagine a suitable replacement would look like?
Haven't used it myself, but there is:
Seems like a nostr native way to post articles.
why is there a lot of people in need of 1000s of followers? is there money to be made or something?
Yep. People use social media for different purposes. Most simply consume to fulfill some need - not to be bored, laugh, have fun, learn, stay up on latest news… and some seek to monetize by providing content to fulfill those needs.
It’s a funnel. Followers > subscribers > free users > paid users.
For creators, it’s important to be able to get views on their content and since not all content resonates with everyone, they need more followers to get a sufficient number of engagement on things that does resonate.
From there they hope to capture some of those views into more of their attention diverted to more content and hopefully converted to a sale of whatever they may sell. Some people just do it to build a strong network to increase their “luck” surface to land business deals, jobs, whatever…
Creator media sites (TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, X) are built on the spam model. A creator puts out some form of "content" and waits for the likes, tips, whatever to come in. It's really a one-way process.
Social media is built on relationships and a good discussion back and forth. Discord, irc, etc. fall into that. Nostr currently falls here because the community is awesome and there's a culture of connection. The fact that it's still a small community probably contributes to that.
I get worried about people joining nostr and treating it like creator media. Either one-way engagement farming ("I will post my hot take and watch the sats roll in.") or just another place to spam out links.
