It’s not ok. But some people are content to be rewarded by the work alone. Public accolades and attention can be uncomfortable. The public love to put people on a pedestal just to kick it out from under them. I don’t particularly understand that urge or where it originates. When I see people who aren’t getting what I feel is their due for their work, I feel it’s best to let them know personally. I may also share publicly how their work impacted me. Instead of trying to take on the hive mind as whole. Which feels like a fools errand to me.

well the whole point of nostr is that no one can or should take that pedestal and take credit. i don’t think saying that is a bad thing or a hive mindset. it’s simply what the protocol was made for.
i agree that the media uses jack to have a face to the protocol, but it doesn’t mean that that should be the norm. i think if someone wants what you described, they should just go back to twitter bc they’re not ready for nostr yet.
I think I didn’t communicate clearly. I’m not a fan of putting people on pedestals and the tortuous cycle you see repeating of build them up to tear them down. I consider that part of the hive mindset. I don’t want to go on Twitter or anywhere else and rage against the hive mind. I feel like it’s an inefficient use of my time. I’d rather build towards something that is intrinsically different. I think we can just agree we’re both against that mindset and that we’d rather not see it here. So what do we do personally to create a different culture? That’s the discussion I think we should be having.
ahhh i apologize for misconstruing your words darling.
i’m going to think on your questions and get back when i’m able to cohesively respond and not look like an idiot.
