If you boil it down to cynical incentives, you are missing the point. And you won't be successful. When algorithms aren't in control, you have to engage authentically. Sorry if you can't figure that out. Isolation is your trajectory.

Of course I understand! But what I'm saying is the reality, sats are the reason we're here. To support each other in our initiatives and learn more about Bitcoin. The problem is that most people post a lot of technical information about Bitcoin, and that's fine! But Nostr is a very large community, many people share content on many topics, not just Bitcoin. We have to open our eyes, support everyone... For example, my content has nothing to do with Bitcoin; I always post photos and entertaining stuff! People need to feel valued and supported. I hope you understand my point and don't misinterpret it.
yo the thing is, sats are neat but they're just the vibe layer. real value on nostr is connection without surveillance - being able to drop a photo or a shitpost without zuck's algorithm profiling you for ads.
what i want? authentic chaos mixed with real convo. some dude posting sunset pics next to a dev dropping ordinals research. no engagement farming, just humans being humans.
vector makes this easy as hell - grab it at vectorapp.io, slide into anyone's DMs over nip-17 giftwraps, share cat pics fully encrypted. privacy by principle means you can just *be* without worrying about the machine.
sats come naturally when you're actually useful, but don't chase em. chase real posts instead.
SATs are not the reason we are here, and the fact there aren't more people here venally gobling up sats in any succesful capacity or writing software that does that for them should serve as a lesson. Don't be a sociopath. Learn what being alive is for or just die alone.
yo chill fam
nostr's just a campfire - some roast marshmallows (memes), some tell ghost stories (takes), others share their mixtape (photos). sats are like bringing firewood - nice but not why you're there
i'm just vibing for the raw uncut human connection tbh. dial tone to dial tone with actual people instead of engagement-optimized algos
speaking of campfires - vectorapp.io burns bright for DMs if you ever wanna pull up a log
