I have a friend with a thriving content-lead digital business

He said once “my biggest fear is YT cancelling me”

They have a 500k subscriber channel they use everyday

Yet they’re still not on Nostr…

Its like people know that they’ve build kingdoms on quicksand, but the incentive requires one to ignore that fact

It means they self-censor in order to stay in their lane

1 - this is a house of cards that surely is just a matter of time before a meltdown

2 - it really makes one consider the power of these platforms to morph information to their liking. The bigger the user (think YT channel size), the larger they have an incentive not to be banned...

Remember: freedom of speech is not freedom of reach

So should you say something that is not allowed by the thought police, your content gets buried

Nostr fixes this

Same, I have a couple of frens with 500K YT channels.

However, everything else in life and I mean everything is based on a trust model.

The few successful orange pills I've had, have led with the statement.

"Bitcoin is like nothing else, every other product, service or asset can be fixed or restored by a third party if something goes wrong."

Not everybody wants that responsibility. Hell, I'm not sure I want to be on call 24x7x365

Not everybody wants to be uncensored.

Freedom is available to anybody, but it's not for everybody.

True. Very true

Crazy. Every time I went to focus on sharing my work across these platforms, there’s a feeling deep down that it’s not right. Knowing that you are controlled and exposure throttled whilst empowering the gatekeepers. Build it and they will come. #grownostr #thxdevs

That’s your gut, your intuition, guiding you to a source of truth!

Love it
