Holy shit, I think I just realized a direct and concrete way that I’ve personally experienced to how #Nostr completely changes the social incentives:
• Rage and hateful posts on Twitter get the most attention.
• Positive and happy posts on Nostr get the most zaps.
It really was just monetization all the time.
When attention is the currency, negativity and hate rise to the top because the platforms need people arguing.
When sats directly from peers are the currency, value rises to the top.
(Anyone else feel they’ve had this same experience?)
This is why I try to do only zaps. WTF is a "like" except another entry in a database.

Hate to be ‘well acchtually’ but a zap is another entry in a database.
And yet it is so much more
Damn it, liked your post by mistake, zaps on the way.
a like and a zap is the same thing. You’re not going to zap a post you don’t like, right? 😅
