unclear what about substack is not the legacy business model? https://twitter.com/hamishmckenzie/status/1644407037600866304?s=20

Could just be a marketing ploy to get more attention to substack 🤔
Has anyone actually verified blocking to be true?
It’s going to need it!
In the end all of this is attention seeking and free marketing
legacy = ads
not legacy = subscription
future = zaps
Subscription has been around b. Legacy model is a central company trying to own the platform and distribution and discovery.
Agreed. In no way does it allow you to port your content
Nor does it stop the leaders of the company from being human and working in their own self interest
(Semi relevant) it also doesn’t push anything technologically. It’s the same sort of site that has existed for 13 years
💯
The nicest thing about Twiter was the fact that you did not have to have an account to see content and you could explore a blurb of idea by following links.
I will also say that some ads were actually interesting but... Sometimes the feed would move so fast that the interesting ad would disappear!
Listening to #NoAgenda recently with #[4] discussing why Tik-Tok is succeeding in Advertisement markets due to the serving of positive feedback to whatever interest one had would probably rescue Twitter BUT, Nostr is #morebetterest and the Value for Value model should play nicely here.
We might even get to a point of Sats response preferred. Like a streaming engine while using nostr that just sends mSats / Sats to liked or respondents. Then the bots will have to pay us for the views.
And whatnot.
I dunno was it the Easter egg I ate before bed or messages from the divine but all I did last night was zaps making the internet great again. There's no way that these sites can compete with zaps, right? $9.99 minimum sub/paywall to justify a Stripe account vs making the info available to all and getting a dime or a dollar multitude more times.
