Controlling a trend list means you control the narrative. Same thing centralized socials do. Same reason why everyone hates them now more than ever.

Trend lists don’t control the narrative. They’re optional lol
Lol yes, they are optional. But when one chooses a trend list... that creates a narrative😮💨.
And? I find it very valuable. Some days I don’t have time to scroll through my feed of nearly 500 users. So I check what is trending and it gives me a good idea on what happened today. Posts that have a lot engagement and zaps are not a perfect signal of what is important but it’s a decent one.
Ok. That's fine if you like it. As someone who has worked with VCs before, I'm always going to remain skeptical of their long-term intentions. Primal is no differen, imo.
That’s fair. I think all nostr clients will eventually have to act like businesses and find ways to monetize content. Devs can’t keep building off open sats donations forever. A lot of people will get very upset with the clients they’ve used for years. The beauty of nostr is that you can just switch to a different client. If amethyst starts censoring certain content about Trump and using algorithmic feeds, you’ll always have the option to go to a different client.
