Discussion
The thing we learned is that people generally don’t care about anyone’s audio notes unless those people are good friends. Audio is higher friction than text for consumption.
Another startup learned the same I think as they are no longer around.
nostr:npub1ust7u0v3qffejwhqee45r49zgcyewrcn99vdwkednd356c9resyqtnn3mj what was that short form audio recording that you shared? If I remember correct you were exchanging audio with naval
I think it’s sufficient to start here and have:
1) the nostr:npub180cvv07tjdrrgpa0j7j7tmnyl2yr6yr7l8j4s3evf6u64th6gkwsyjh6w6 technical “channel”, and
2) the nostr:npub180cvv07tjdrrgpa0j7j7tmnyl2yr6yr7l8j4s3evf6u64th6gkwsyjh6w6 Brasileiro pura mañha channel
3) the nostr:npub180cvv07tjdrrgpa0j7j7tmnyl2yr6yr7l8j4s3evf6u64th6gkwsyjh6w6 trolling channel
And it will take a life on its own.
Interesting models to test: in order to reply, you must send a zap.
Specifically why pay to reply:
1) audio is norm between friends, not public chat
2) reduce public chat noise, thereby increasing signal
The startups that tried this previously I imagine did not have zaps.
Zaps changes things.
