I am of the viewpoint that monetary value brings you closer and not farther away. Can you help me understand why it would erode trust? Is it the sell out factor of “here is some money, now you do as i say”? (This is so low level and low energy that its gross 🤢) nevertheless ppl do operate like this.

I think direct contributions to a person eliminates some of that. If a company wants to sponsor a creator via zaps, they have no contract or control over what they say or do. Plus anyone else can sponsor too.

Where you spend your monetary value speaks volumes of what you value and thats what i love about nostr! I think it brings us closer 🫂

"Is it the sell out factor of “here is some money, now you do as i say”?" People may operate like that but it doesn't scale when the money is scarce.

Monetary energy being transferred creates a more truthful world. No way around it, bc, incentives. You can't just arbitrarily waste or design a bot to "like" everything or you quickly run out and have to come up with a new plan.

Exactly, not monetising content directly leads to a Pied Piper or Jim Crammer effect. Someone else pays for the content and you become the product.
