Replying to Avatar Vincent Vasco

What I like is that it's very open to different topics. I'm interested in Bitcoin, but I don't want to receive updates every minute on just that topic. For the moment, I find that my feed is gradually balancing Bitcoin with other topics that interest me.

What I like less is that, aside from interactions, I have no idea how many people see what I post. Sometimes I wonder if my content is actually viewed by followers or if they just followed me so I'd follow them back. I'd like to have access to more statistics.

Also, I often read that likes are useless and that Zaps are needed. I appreciate Zaps, but so are likes. Perhaps "Likes 🧡" could have been replaced with "Views 👀" on Nostr if we really wanted to distinguish quality content rewarded with Zaps from more common content that we still want to discover every day.

I'm new from traditional social media, so without Zaps, and all the reactions were pleasing. Here, I sometimes have trouble telling the difference between someone who appreciates what I post and someone who just wants to get my attention.

Same as a viewer: I see a lot of content (memes, photos, quotes, etc.) without explanation or personalization. I wonder if these are real people posting original content or just bots who repeatedly post (or repost) content taken from here and there on other platforms.

In short, what I'd like is to be able to assess whether my content truly belongs on Nostr or whether I'm posting in the void.

For other users, I'll gradually refine my list to focus on original content and free up space to discover new users.

I see your content all the time. Beautiful scenery 😻

You can get a better sense of how many people see your content with media analytics through something like nostr.build. They count how many times their server was queried.

It’s hard to get view counts probably due to how relay connections work - you’d never see the stats from relays you’re not connected to. Services that aggregate relays like the primal caching server would be the closest thing to a central point of truth for stats probably.
