I don’t either.
It’s not really that odd. People gain followers from being on a list, they then promote the platform/client.
It’s a mutual agreed upon arrangement where both parties gain.
Free market. It is what is and people won’t care or don’t seem to care.
Which is fine, but we can still point it out.
yeah, but why not be open about it?
nostriches appreciate transparency a ton, and i think there should be an opt-in/opt-out solution for that
Because we can just use another client and they can do whatever they want. They aren’t going after us, they are going after the mainstream users who will just use their default settings and feeds.
yeah, but that's dumb
it's not good resource management dev time wise to have 10s upon 10s twitter-like clients, when nostr could be so much more than that.
Because there is profit to be made, and these large accounts are more interested in securing their positions of influence on nostr now while it's early than they are with giving other voices a spotlight because it will mean bigger profit for them later on.
ugh
makes sense
