After setting 200 sats/min for v4v listening in Fountain, something unexpected happened to me.

I am much more picky about what I listen to. Example: I started to listen to some techie AI podcast. After few minutes I thought to myself "I know all this stuff they're talking about and I'm paying for this, I'll skip ahead". I skipped and switched to a different podcast eventually.

Normally I would tell myself "I know this stuff, but the guys are nice, maybe I'll learn something new".

Value4value works in both ways. I reward creators for the value I receive, but it makes me very conscious about what I receive.

And since my time is precious, I actually save it.
