Just realised now Elon Musk is now giving out payments to his blue ticked large influencers.

The influencers are now incentivised to say lot more crazy stuff to try win clout, increase engagement in comment section and to increase follower count.

Maybe this will lead to X’s own self destruction as the X.com feed becomes unbearable to read through.

they'll eventually run out of stuff to say for fear of ther income getting yanked.

I dont know. Extroverted people seem to always make small things seem like big things.

shoulda qualified it, they will run out of *interesting stuff to say 🤔

Makes you wonder if this is an intentional agent of chaos thing to justify putting the clamps on social media and “anyone just doing what they want” on the Internet.

I haven’t logged into TwitterX since way before the rebranding. Less desire to now.

Its mayhem lol.

SO much worse but I dont have a blue tick.

I have some good content because I have curated my feed but most my feed is ads, bots and people creating divisions.

I miss my shitty “Age of conquest zombies” mobile game ads that showed up every other post. 😂

But how can #Nostr clients compete w/ x.com?

Nostr is a social network as well.

People looking to find or form communities.

People looking for free speech online.

I think it’s likely in several months, Nostr apps will be superior in terms of UX and features than x.com. The only advantage x.com has its the network effect.

There are many content creators looking to earn BTC. If bTC price starts increasing because of halving 2024, it could bring more adoption to nostr as byproduct of number go up.

Help build the town square you want to be a part of.

The one you want to meet your friends and family in.

If it's takes a long time to build, you're probably doing it right.

That's why I'm here.

Already is

I think it will only get worse.

seems certain.

I died last year in my eyes. There is no coming back.

The feed for an unpaid account is half ads seems like

Elon Musk is an idiot who wants to install mind reading brain implants with a kill switch in everyone for the U.S. Military

True you right.

But most people don’t care.

I wouldn’t doubt it. Need an eXodus from Twitter

You mean X

Still can’t call it X lol

Lol me neither was kidding

It’s already unbearable.

Waiting for self destruction button to be pressed.

step 1 lure em in with money (in exchange for full kyc).

step 2 get em hooked on money.

step 3 make em think they have a free pass to say whatever they want

step 4 people start getting de-banked for wrong think since all the financials are on record

Genius
