Subnostr

Thinking more about this.

I’ll welcome a zap - big or small - with someone’s brand promoted in the zap note.

Or a business sending zaps to plebs just to catch an eye… Our friends at #[1] were classy AF with this approach last week.

But that’s my choice to give my attention to a brand.

Endless reposting and/or spamming my friends so that I can get paid, on the other hand… it doesn’t feel right.

And I’m likely to get muted by accounts that I respect.

So I must decline to continue this giveaway, but I’m always happy to see different tactics as people and businesses test nostr’s capabilities.

Yup

That's right.

Posting something on my timeline is like using my voice.

When someone asks me to post, they are asking to lend my voice.

If they ask to post what I would generally post, that's fine. I am just using my voice.

When I lend my voice to irrelevant parties, I become that irrelevant party.

No one wants to remain subscribed to an irrelevant party.

I lose my reputation here at the cost of that irrelevant party getting more eyeballs. They win. I lose.

Exactly.

It’s arguable that if the brand zaps you in return for posting about them, then it’s a fair/agreed choice.

But then you choose to enter into a promoter role and take what comes with it.

I’m always happy recommending a business that I use and think highly of. But blindly promoting someone whose brand and ethic I don’t know… that doesn’t work for me
