Hey #Nostr this is QUESTION 4 of a series where you can help orange pill one more person!

I will post the best questions I am able and my thoughts on them as I progress through my learning.

If you would like to help steer myself and others in the right direction shoot me a follow and start commenting your thoughts and insights.

Hopefully by the end we will have a library of useful conversations and collection of differing opinions that you all helped create

Question 4: What will the future of the internet look like now that we have micro transactions where energy doesn’t leave the system?

This is something that has been very intriguing to me over the last couple months and I would like to know some of the best use cases you guys have thought of. What is going to change in light of this ability to send fractions of cents instantly.

The best analogy I have heard relating to this is one where someone hits a baseball but they have access to it dial to control the gravity acting on the ball. You can turn the gravity close to off but so long as a little energy leaks out of the system, the ball still has to come down. What we haven’t seen over the internet is an environment where the loss on energy is clicked to zero.

Which fields are going to be impacted the most when we turn the gravity to zero…

Applications that solve the problem of social media using your attention as a product to be bought and sold will be big. People will be able to make posts similar to ads where they can maximize reach to the point at which cost is at equilibrium with what they get zapped in return. Companies that are generally well received for the business practices win.

People creating content can also choose to not maximize reach at no cost but maximize profits. This will be huge for content creators and journalists. Content will also generally shift to what creates the most value since the most important KPI will no longer be click rate or watch time but value provided.

Spam protection will also be big. If an actor human or not wants to reach many people they will either have to value that enough to expend money or the content will have to be valuable enough for users that they can get tremendous reach at no loss of money.
