How does it stop people from desiring sensationalism? There will always be those that seek it out and those that will provide it. Yes, it’s easier to avoid it on Nostr because we aren’t being force fed it, but it will not stop humans from being human.

It doesn’t stop people from seeking it out but it also doesn’t enable them. On other social media views inform algorithms which then enable more reach for sensational content. We don’t have that on nostr. A note is not going to “go viral” just because it enrages people. Someone will have to sit there and like and reshare it.
Which they will?
