All these people whining about how little "engagement" they get... fuck right off with your grift, please.
You want to make money by posting your opinions or free content? That's perfectly fine!
Just be realistic about the product, the competition and the market you chose engage, and your probabilities to make any difference.
And be humble, and admit that no one owes you jack squat, even leas if you're giving away for free.
And stop being a little bitch, just in general.
I don’t get peeps who don’t get #nostr.
I’m an idiot and at beginning it’s not intuitive. The apps getting easier and better will make everyone get it soon.
Seriously, I'm in here like I was on mIRC in 1995. To talk shit and have a laugh.
People somehow (well, we know exactly how) have developed this concept that you get on "social media" to make a living, instead of WORKING.
Then when reality comes with the receipts, they blame others for their poor decision-making.
Yes, it’s very much an on-demand, “it should all just work for me” mentality, but as we know, with convenience comes major tradeoffs.
I wanted something like #nostr, but I didn’t know what that was, and when I found it, it all clicked, it all made sense.
It’s a very similar experience that people have described when discovering #bitcoin. That thing that you were searching for but didn’t know what it was or where to find it—until it found you.
People are used to gaming the algorithm, if you post content in a certain way, it'll be promoted to other people's feed. They need to realize that Nostr does none of that nonsense, if you want engagement then you have to engage with other people, approach them, strike up conversations, and get to know each other like a human being, like how we ahould interact.
I agree that such is reprehensible behavior, but could you point me towards such content? I'm not seeing it, but would like an example.
Latest one, seen yesterday.

Thanks! It's this interesting conflict of professionalism vs amateurism (for me at least) ... Several times in my life I decided against being professional because of not wanting the pressure of having to be popular: I turned down being a professional musician and I don't want to be a professional coach, because I don't want to depend on pleasing clients/patients ... I think I love #nostr for the amount of passion, which for me relates more to amateurism, but of course I'm not talking about the quality of the output, but just about the purpose of the output.
Connection instead of engagement is what we should be looking for, this isn't a performance, it's real life.
When they write about how much more followers they have on another platform…why aren’t they over there instead of complaining here ?
