it sounds cliche, but still, there’s nothing for free – in centralized apps, we are the product. algos are optimized to push content that keeps us on the screen longer, and creators like mr. beast are exploiting that. today’s social media is no diff than old good, ad-driven cable tv.

some might say nostr is free, but that’s not true. nostr is permissionless, but not effortless. we’re in control, and we need to provide our proof of work to discover and engage.
