The incentives on Nostr are unique compared to other social media:

1. You can’t get kicked off or canceled, so you are incentivized to speak the truth, not the party line.

2. You can’t block anyone from replying to your notes, you can only hide them from your feed, so the power of echo chambers is greatly reduced.

3. You can’t delete your posts, so you are incentivized to be a bit more thoughtful with your words.

4. No ad revenue is possible, but instant peer to peer zaps are abundant, so we are all incentivized to create value and reward the value of others

Insanely bullish on what #Nostr means for the consciousness collective.

I disagree on no ad revenue being possible, your posts are public record and could be mined for opportunities to sell to your pubkey, I think especially free relays will have deals with advertisers to message users or post replies to notes that meet certain criteria.

Fair point.

Still, there are no explicit ads on Nostr, only workarounds. I suspect those who solicit too often will get filtered out of most Nostrich feeds

Definitely agree on that.. I think people will accept some advertising in exchange for free services, but the interoperability of relays and clients will keep it in check... Advertise too much and you'll lose your audience.

Those who play around with this awareness will be the heroes of the next decade.

ad revenue is very well possible. even far better than the current social media, cuz it can not be censored
