Elon needed this: hold the users
Seem to be just in time right?
Hold the creators so the users keep hanging around
It’s a smart move
There will be masses racing for followers, doing everything to attract them. Bird app will be flooded with bullshit content.
I could see that happening short term for sure. But I wonder if it wouldn’t take long for people to weed out bullshit content creators for natural course correction 🤔
We will see a short lived burst of cheap AI generated content, prank videos, gaming streams, ethots, all the degenerate junk food for the mind. Revenue for creators goes way down, quality goes down further. Users turn into consumers and occasionally comment on content. An accident happening in slow motion.
Meanwhile a nostr-based content gets a whopping 0$ and a thank you

Oh you commented on it, here's a screenshot buddy

Thanks
The advertisers, those who actually pay the content creators on the bird app, have zero incentive to amplify this message. In a way, they dictate (or rather heavily influence) what is being said (or not) on the bird app. It's precisely this hierarchical fiat model that nostr is disrupting.
Great points 👍
Now not only Twitter wants to keep you on Twitter but also the influencooors so they can make money out of you by ad revenue. It's not about you being there for providing value, but for consuming their content. Interesting, influencors have an interest in protecting the Twitter system now. We should keep this in mind.
Seems like a win for everyone though?
Twitter plugs some user leakage
Creators make hopefully better content
Users get better content
Everyone is still seeing the same ads regardless.
Yes there will be more junk but feels like it would balance itself over time.
He's on the far-right side of the bell curve. 😅
I'm pretty sure that for most users (99.99%), it'd be much easier to monetise their content on nostr than on the bird app.
I suspect you are correct ✅
Good for him, he spends a lot of time and energy creating content over there… just think how much more he could make if he was using nostr and recieving SATs that don’t depreciate over time
Everyone in the fiat world has a price, and it’s lower then you think.
