Nobody will care…

I removed all the music I had uploaded to wavlake. I am not comfortable with a platform which allows users to game their billboard and solely uses zaps to gauge engagement. nostr:note1myu7vm8e374g706glyr9uh9sm3jpw0ylykqt4x9dyzpta8smpuws3sy9lf paid promotion needs to be labeled as such.

How did I know users were gaming the billboard? Their zap tally kept growing, but the amount of supporters remained the same. The same sats we’re used multiple times (losing a bit on fees each time). The manipulation by this so called member of the community was relentless, and when I started competing with him replicating the approach it went absolutely overboard.

After the short exchange with WL quoted above, the supporters count suddenly went buggy and stopped displaying data. After pointing this to WL, they claimed a bug and then proceeded to remove it totally from their UI.

Last but not least, when looking at where WL gets its financial support from I noticed that Hivemind Ventures also funds Primal, a Nostr client with a gameable “leaderboard”.

Have fun, without me.
