So Adam Curry is apparently pro-algorithm, which I did not see coming
Discussion
Yeah I thought the same thing.
He’s kinda right though when it pertains to mass adoption
Did he say anything about also choice?
I think his argument is that without an enragement / engagement provoking algorithm, people don’t see value in using a platform and therefore ot wont be adopted. Not sure he knows about the upcoming market for algorithms using #DVM on #Nostr.
It felt a it off brand for sure.
I too am pro algo
So long as they are open source and you have choice
Algorithm is what each user makes it.
I think this is the clip your referring to? His point was people tend to not stick around on Social Media platforms if there isn't an algo keeping their attention.
Yep, that's the one. And yeah, he says it on pragmatic grounds but... coming from the podfather that's a little disappointing.
How so? Genuinely curious.
He's done so much to keep podcasting from getting captured by Apple. And he spends so much time fighting propaganda. He's also no fan of Musk, but he is just sort of rolling over on social media. He makes a good point later that maybe people just aren't interested in social media, which is sort of true. It's fine, he doesn't have to fight this fight, it's just sort of lame.
cant we have algorithms on nostr? what do you think of wss://algo.utxo.one?
I love algorithms. It's about user choice. Twitter only has one, and it's awful.
Looks like Curry didn't get the full perspective on #nostr .. yet .. he is looking at it as yet another Twitter clone .. may be ..
Though I must be careful in qualification cuz the man is way more deeper than I could ever comprehend :-) ..
