The platforms of today are in the business of maximizing attention. Views are their currency.

They harvest eyeballs and braincycles, because they have to to keep themselves alive.

Consequently all platforms are in the business of producing car crashes: something that you can't help but look at.

A "car crash" on twitter might be a political discussion. A car crash on Instagram might be a beautiful woman in a beautiful surrounding.

There's a reason why all YouTube thumbnails are a guy stepping on a Lego. It's all attention harvesting.

The only notable exceptions are creators that don't rely on YouTube for monetization, i.e. those who use Patreon or similar.

Views are unconscious.

Likes are conscious, but low cost.

Zaps are conscious and high cost.

Real cost.

I believe #nostr and zaps change things fundamentally, because you wouldn't zap a car crash.

your notes always make me think ⚡️

Depends who is crashing 😏

⚡ zap is like the statement

'put your money where your mouth is'

But I would zap the guy on my maps app telling me there’s a car crash ahead

What are comments?

Controversial.

Theoretically, yes to all of that .
