The distinction between "It's about me" and "It's about my audience" is a fascinating lens through which to analyze social media platforms. YouTube creators primarily focus on content that caters to their audience's preferences and interests, while LinkedIn creators often prioritize self-centered content, paying minimal attention to their audience's needs and desires. Every other network falls somewhere between these two extremes.

When it comes to Nostr, there will be segments of creators who lean toward audience-centric content and others who prioritize content about themselves, attenuated by the client they use and the type of feed they see from others. The key challenge will be how to assemble the feed the reader wants out of both segments.

Well put. I lean towards what the audience wants or needs.

Like bitches

Screen from a pitch deck I was working on a while back. Still true.

I think this is within of nostr as is predominantly used now, the twitter-feed style. There is a (very slowly) rising usage in nostr as forum/reddit-like. Which comes with a somewhat different dynamic, as Stuart from satellite .earth described it in that thread he made.

I see 3 separate distinctions:

A) Audience focus

B) Content focus

C) Attention content

In the case of A, the audience drives the content. In the case of B, content is published based on interests of the content creator. C would be more attention-oriented content.

It seems that you mix B and C as a single category.

Why not let people choose?

In fact his distinction is more about

- being a real artist/creator

- being a bitch

I notice that developers here feel like they are gods… lame AF
