How it looks on Nostrgram, pretty neat

💜 this use of Nostrgram audio notes. I expect this to catch on in a big way. It literally gives a voice to the person behind the account increasing the depth of bonds we form here.

Will be fun to watch this format evolve. So much good stuff happening!

Yeah, right?!? Just trying to throw down a template here for people who are much more thoughtful & interesting than myself 🤣 to consider using as a way to deliver content to their audience.

Yes it can.

I'm optimistic myself. There are financial incentives for not being a shit heel troll 🤡

Love the audio format, I listened from snort.social. Looks better in Nostrgram though!

I agree, we're still very early to this but I think, like you, that it has a good chance of succeeding. It really does come down to incentives. And it always does.

If people can freely create the content they like, provide the value they want, and create an audience that can easily zap them because they find it valuable? Well, I think it's going to ultimately draw more and more people into Nostr.

I think the question now becomes, how do we make sure it is not corrupted? Will the current incentives be enough?

One of my concerns is becoming too people pleasing though with content and detracting from genuine self expression. I think there's a balance there I guess but I would never want to have to create music or art just because it's what the people want.

Perhaps that's just me insisting on staying true to what naturally comes as creative expression, and perhaps that's why my thoughts, viewpoints, music, and creative endeavors have never really gained much traction lol. IDK.

When it comes to ideas though, I do find people talking about the same things that do gain audience though so it might just be luck of the draw or better packaging.

That said I don't really worry about it as long as the ideas get out there eventually lol.

Good thoughts though!

Yea good point there! Freedom of expression is so important! I agree that speaking a language or art style that fits where people are mostly likely to connect to is important though if one is money motivated.

Yet I often think of how unyielding great artists and thinkers were in their direction and expression. Some of them like van gogh never were valued until after they were gone but stayed true to the creative expression that came through them.

That's just the way it is, and I'm fine with however life plays out.

Thanks for the conversation!

Also i think there's something to the collective consciousness and that many people tune into the same ideas at the same time without knowing. One of the examples from history would be symbols that we find in common with cultures who never meet across time and space. Anywho I kinda went off there haha.

What is this?

nostrgram.co you can record audio notes & video notes. Pretty neat!

Cool! I can’t play it on the Damus app though it takes me to safari.

Yeah, it's displayed nicely on Nostrgram with the audio bar and all. With the other clients, the link to the mp3 will link through your web browser.

Damus doesn't support webm video yet. Will is aware so hopefully support will come soon.
