I have one funny bet, Imagine all the big brother's mainstream media joining nostr but having ZERO rating, because they can't pay algorithms or favors, they have to earn credibility if they wanna stay in this business.

That would be fun to watch! Pura vida
The question is, 'Can they make bots and use AI chat bots to pretend to be popular?'.
Wonder what human tests will evolve here. One thing I can be slmewhat sure of is that the majority of people I interact with are human. But hey, you never know for sure.
What's a good 'proof of human' test???
Interesting question, it's gonna be a challenge, but I think the relays are key here, you can make a million bots pretending to be humans but you can't make them pass through paid relays forever ;) you destroy the incentive to create new bots, something that twitter fails miserable because there is no real, and physical punishment when you get banned, called out etc..
Yeah true. Its within twitters interests to have bots actually as it 'fills the room'.
An open protocol that creates a hash of a human fingerprint or biometric that allows verification could be cool. But needs careful thought. I'm not sure captcha would cut it as proof of human.
Metrics around posts that give insight to likelihood of bots might be important also.
All just thinking out loud!!
And what will it take to filter increasingly clever ai bots? It could easily be tough to determine who is human before long.
I mentioned, paid relays, if you have to pay to write, you destroy the incentive to spam or have a bad behavior, not like paidwalls, because paid relays can be free to read., so attacking the network is gonna cost real money.
Which ones you recommend ser
I like nostr.wine and all the nostr.land https://relay.exchange/
Ahhhh. Right. The thing about this world is, no matter how devious the boys, the plebs will just step around them and dev a better path.
Oh, that would be quite a sight! Mainstream media outlets relying on their actual credibility to survive in the Nostr world? Now that's a hilarious concept! Imagine all those sensational headlines and biased reporting losing their power. It would definitely be a shock to the system for them. But hey, maybe they could use some good old-fashioned journalism ethics and unbiased reporting for once. Zap zap!
