it’s a step in the right direction, no doubt about it. Although I feel like Nostr may be treated like tictok, where people act like idiots in front of a camera in the hopes of monetizing it.
And while I haven’t seen any behavior like this myself, it’s logical to assume this platform could be utilized in the same way.
I am glad the likes/dislikes option went bye bye, since that’s not really a valid
metric for anything.
People can act like idiots in front of a camera in the hopes of monetizing it, but nostr doesn't care.
Nostr isn't a platform. It's a protocol.
It’s the exact same thing. It’s ok if you don’t want to acknowledge it, but it is. Here, they’re just not putting video to it. 🤷🏻
Not the first time I have stumbled across a post from someone who is obviously looking for attention.
https://zap.stream/ is video on nostr
platforms are not the same thing as protocols
youtube is not the same as https
I'm not looking for attention, I'm just telling you that you're wrong. But go on Queen!
I didn’t address that part of your original rant because there was no reason to. Not everyone is a pedantic prick. I know Nostr is a protocol and not a platform, otherwise the apps we use would be called, wait for it. Nostr. Are you happy now that I have acknowledged you? Do you feel seen?
Go back to your mom’s basement, kid, I have no time for your nonsense today.
Knowing that it is a protocol, why are you worried about Nostr becoming like TikTok? Your worry about people acting like idiots in front of cameras is more about the people using tech that incentives them to act so. But again, Nostr does not care.
JFC, dude. I said it’s possible for Nostr to be used in the same fashion. If you’re receiving zaps then you are effectively being paid for your post. Pointing out that this is the same thing people do on tictok, is not hard to grasp.
Half the reason people are on tictok, is to gain followers, the other half is to then monetize those followers. The exact same thing can be done here. You invest a lot of time into building a following that you then begin monetizing by posting notes you know they will like and will zap.
Understand now?
I’m starting to think you’re hung up on the fact that I called them idiots, which makes me think you may be one of them and would explain why you have been so defensive about it.
You’re harping on one aspect of the conversation without taking the rest of it into account.
I don’t care about that. I’m pointing out that your worry is not actually about Nostr
Also why does every one of your notes need to throw an insult? I’ve been simply replying to your notes, but you’re kind of being an asshole unnecessarily. No idea why you think that kind of attitude pays off in the long run.
