television ded
50%+ people under 25 don't watch tv
Discussion
They watch Instagram and tiktok
TikTok and Instagram isn't really all that different to TV. Social media generally feels like very TVfied.
I imagine gen alpha will reject social media (as is) similarly.
Not sure what, if anything, will replace it. 🤔
nostr just simply isn't TV
it's for communication between people, with no partial intermediaries
the history of big tech squashing real p2p communication of the internet is practically the history of the internet
google killed RSS and email, facebook, reddit and twitter killed forums, people need communication
the masses don't, they are dumb and retarded and don't matter because they have no agency
Web 1.0 didn''t feel TV-ish. Return to web 1.0:)
web 1.0 is before they scaled it to web 2.0 with "cloud" and OAUTH
remember the whole pitch of facebook's front page "always will be free" yeah.. of charge, not strings
that lured lots of stupid people in and pretty much killed 99% of forums
Brainrot slop
and normies seek social media in general for the same reason as tv, which is something i rail against about people on #nostr endlessly crying about #adoption
yes, because nostr is not like TV
there is no advertising budget being diverted to pay influencoors to make a show
for the most part, you gotta have something to sell here to get money out of nostr, there is no simply posting shit and making $600/week in advertising royalties
and people who like the fact that this place isn't a fucking television masquerading as a communication protocol are sticky, they aren't going back to watch the fake ads of fake people influencoors who are getting paid to be fake
Yes :110percent:
Community relays for the sticky > Big Tech copycatting for adoption
Quality > Quantity
Conversation > Consumption
Yippee! Hope for the future. Disintermediate the corporate media.
