I finished "The New Analog" by Damon Krukowski. If you have or enjoy vinyl records, you will enjoy this book. But there is a bigger theme here.

He asks what do we loose when we switch to digital technologies? Even he admits that nostalgic love for old technologies is not practical, but what are we missing?

It's the noise from the signal. Digital is 100% signal but noise adds context that analog humans still process.

Perhaps of most interest to this group was his comparison to legacy social media who curated content feeds for you which is a way of removing noise from your feed.

Which I then realized why nostr is so different. _It has noise_. The noise is mixed in the signal on nostr still as you had to scroll passed all the other posts by other followers to read this.

This noise is a feature, not a bug. Perhaps it's why nostr feels more authentic -- it's more analog in this way.
