Name me someone who has risen in popularity, gives consistently good advice, doesn't have sponsors, doesn't want to monetise, doesn't want any fame or clout, and especially doesn't want your money (doesn't sell you anything).
These people don't exist in the digital space. They're people you have coffee and meals with and spend hours sharing your life and stories with. They're much closer to you than you think.
You can find such people in linux communities.
If you exclude the popularity factor, there are more such people and communities.
I am really thinking about this.
This post truly brings me into moral conflict.
On the one hand it describes me.
On the other hand I do not currently have a job and Nostr is my sole source of income.
I do not want to sell people anything, but I just want the value for value that I provide in return. Whether that is a zap, or words of encouragement. They are of equal value and appreciation to me. Both improve the quality of my life and make me feel my time here is well spent.
I do not seek fame, or clout.
I do not have any sponsors.
I constantly do my best to share wisdom and give good advice daily to genuinely help people.
I dont know if reaching over 100 followers classifies as rising in popularity. The numbers dont matter to me. I just want regular engagement with real people and have quality conversations that actually mean something.
Id like to hear your thoughts on whether this should, or should not be a moral confliction?
What I really meant whilst typing this is is that to me, real value is in our life connections than in the internet or social media.
From what I've observed, a lot of people here provide great value in their posts however, there is also this expectation to be given something in return for it.
It's a market. It's transactional and there's expectation. In real life, no one pays their friends for advice or to spend time with them.
been doing that since 2009 on twitterβ¦
when i separated my physical self from my digital persona
time flies⦠starting off from 0 on Nostr
organic growth is the only pure path
but i agree, physical has its multipliers

I don't accept zaps or want your money, but I definitely want clout, and my popularity never really grows, so that sux
