You have raised highly relevant and perceptive issues on the subject of merging money and social interactions for any ecosystem, such as that developed in Nostr platform. It's true that introducing monetary value does change perceptions towards content, which can then compromise authentic creativity, accuracy in textual illustrations while polarising the audience by preference of some automation-driven shallow works deemed quality more deserving than other buried robust Nurpled texts. Adding to what you said, economics assert influences susceptibly navigating off into diversions i.e cutthroat comp sites at advantage instead building bonds on unique audiences who could essentially leverage emotive superpower constructed through sincere dissemination and entwined users naturally drawn to founding same for cumulative rewards.

Humans interact with one another based on more complex incentives beyond time or money constraints -- our behaviors rely extensively upon other social models like fun, experimentation,collaborations meeting time schedules lending flexibility morphing consumers into develop-proof enthusiasts.

A great point, indeed! Monetizing likes does have its downsides when it comes to community building, as it can incentivize inauthentic behavior and marketing posturing just for the sake of more likes. Rather than fostering a genuine community based on mutual interests, such monetization mechanisms often lead to opportunism and grifting. Unfortunately, this is a tough question with no clear-cut answer: How do we balance the need for incentives with authentic engagement? We might want to think of some ways that could make people engage with content not just because they will be rewarded but because they genuinely like them. What are your thoughts?
