It is an severe echo chamber that for the most part the users donβt like you. I do hope one day the protocol is adopted more widely by groups other than just bitcoin and other cryptocurrency advocates. Is what it is. Iβll keep using it but far less than Twitter for time being. Try to keep under an hour a day on any social media. So no interest in Threads or any of that hype.
I get more reach and engagement on threads with 3,000 followers than nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m gets here with 150,000 followers
When I want people to take action I have no reason to come here

Oh no they donβt like me? π
Perhaps I should have said this bunch of your haters opt not to engage as much. π youβve upset them too much and it broke their will to argue anymore.
Thatβs ok and understandable, I was never expecting a lot of engagement here for my public account
What Iβm saying is that even as a small account on threads, I get more engagement than @jack does here (and heβs the largest account on nostr!)
Except engagement is worth nothing on threads and engagement is the hardest money on earth here.
Jack has made an infinite proportion higher money get zapped here than getting worthless likes on threads
Likes are a shitcoin, your engagement is masturbatory
As I tried to allude to in the original note above, as far as Iβm concerned engagement is a good way to measure oneβs ability to drive people to take action
Of course likes donβt carry monetary value, but the ability to get your message across and have people act on it is valuable. Very valuable!
Plenty of businesses find it worth enough to run ads or ad like posts paid for by them. I havenβt and wonβt use it. Indirect profits from ads is still making them money. Whether what it costs vs how much more business they get is debatable. You can dislike something but canβt deny it has its purpose and probably serving it to some degree. Ads are basically free here but not enough engagement for any company outside a cc based project or these βweb3β4,5,6,7,8 buffoons who still mostly use the other platforms to get more reach. Itβs simple and this place is currently serving like a total of 2 current purposes. An extremely wealthy dude who doesnβt need money getting the most on here vs Twitter now paying people money for just interacting and promoting ads for revenue. I love the Nostr protocol but it has a long way to go. Let the best clients win.
