I think scheduled boosts would be a great Nostr feature that could improve content discoverability. Me boosting a note immediately after the author probably just means that my followers will see the same note twice. Me scheduling a note to be boosted in ~1 hr probably means that fresh eyes will see it.

The arms race of engagement tools never ends. I can have a client configured to ignore reposted content.

Sure. But here I'm talking about the situation where people would have wanted to see it, but missed it because they weren't on Nostr at the time.

It's a primitive solution that will be replaced by curated content feeds. Anyone who's read "Fall; or, Dodge in Hell" by Neal Stephenson has a vivid image of what that could look like.

Agree. I think of scheduled reposts as being a valuable part of the content discovery process. It's like a discovery algorithm that is controlled by the people you follow.

Algorithms and AIs controlled by people is what this is all about!

Why don't bookmark or pin notes? reposts are spammy imo

I generally agree. But I can easily think of situations where reposting is useful. I think of scheduled reposts as an algorithm for content discovery that is controlled by the people you follow.

This.

Noticed the same thing.
