Holy shit, I think I just realized a direct and concrete way that I’ve personally experienced to how #Nostr completely changes the social incentives:

• Rage and hateful posts on Twitter get the most attention.

• Positive and happy posts on Nostr get the most zaps.

It really was just monetization all the time.

When attention is the currency, negativity and hate rise to the top because the platforms need people arguing.

When sats directly from peers are the currency, value rises to the top.

(Anyone else feel they’ve had this same experience?)

I think, personally, positive vibes on Nostr seem to be mandated for all Nostr users. Now yes, there are some bad apples, but I digress.

Is this healthy, or even possible? Always happy, all the time? Seems to me to carry a high degree of psychological bypassing...
