I like the term connections better than followers, but whatever you wanna call it. You’re missing the web of trust part. Or whatever criteria. You seem convinced it can’t work, or shouldn’t be done, and I think that’s just a shitty attitude to have here.

I haven’t seen the web of trust actually work efficiently yet. I never said it couldn’t. I’m talking about right now. You seem to be talking in hypotheticals. I’m not interested in arguing over differences of opinions. I think two different opinions can coexist. It’s not like my saying something that bothers me is gonna change or affect anything. They’re just words.
And even if there is a functioning web of trust in the future, I will still think it’s cringe to engagement farm.
Advertising is different than engagement farming. Web of trust doesn’t need to be perfect for this kind of use case. Just good enough. I’ve seen nostr:nprofile1qqsppdnxpjc82jlm3yn9gawhv7p4nm69a3f80rg5ycw305xned2s0hcpz3mhxue69uhkzmr8duh82arcduhx7mn99uq3wamnwvaz7tmjv4kxz7fwwpexjmtpdshxuet59u4skayr do some advertising this way to push out new products and from the outside looking in it appears to get his posts out pretty quickly. Again, you are taking a hardcore stand here that doesn’t make sense. Advertising is a legit activity, even necessary. What’s up your butt about it?
if i say retarded things will you pay attention to me even if im not a farmer?
