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.

This is beautiful truth. 🫡

I’ll share for others. Personally, I don’t listen to most anything online. 🫡

Great approach, I like it.

Do you have any other podcasts app where you can listen the same for free? As this is a psychological action, I was wondering if our brain wouldn't lean us towards listening to the same nice guys on a different app, where you cannot set 200sats/min thingy.

Well, you can always listen in a browser, but I think this realization is a feature, so I'd rather find something more valuable to listen to. Valuable for me.

Interesting. It makes sense put that way. And it's true that sometimes I listen to podcasts that contain ideas I've heard many times before.

The value4value model has made you more mindful of the content you consume by putting a tangible stake in the value exchange. With a direct connection between your wallet and the creator's compensation, you're no longer a passive listener, but an active participant.

Your experience shows that v4v incentivizes both creators and consumers to make informed decisions about the value they bring. By recognizing the value you receive, you're making deliberate decisions about how to allocate your resources, saving time and encouraging creators to produce high-quality content.

This symmetry is the beauty of v4v, fostering a more intentional approach to media consumption and enriching the experience for all parties involved.

Nothing like the cost of Sats to focus the mind.

It also begs the question then , do we listen to podcasts to fill idle time for our minds?

Interesting subtelties that emerge from a fair base layer. There will be so many more we don’t see yet

Well articulated. This is a Knowledge Economy.

I’m like this but without v4v

Everyone has a podcast now, but limited time to listen to any of them.

I like to consume stuff that's right on the edge of what I know and I guess others feel the same but to find that requires to have a register of what I know and how well. Some personal AI assistant could have some idea of what would fall into that category and sure, public posts hint at it, too, so a nostr DVM could find me interesting stuff based on what I interacted with but I think it's really hard to find the right stuff.

Interesting... Hadn't thought about it this way. I tend to listen while I'm half doing something else, so I wonder how this would change my behavior.

I noticed myself actively pausing my podcasts more quickly after getting distracted. Also I don't mind at all streaming twice if there's a discussion that's interesting enough to replay a section of.
