Yeah interesting.. Do you think they’re real people or bots? My bias in many case is just that they’re bots, because it seems so silly to me to waste your time being angry like that at someone who doesn’t know you, and that you don’t know. lmao
I just analogised the legacy social business model to try to illuminate it to my wife. It went like this...
First i described the simple nature of the business model - this is key:
There are 3 parties in the relationship.
The company, the companies users, and the companies customers. This is a critical distinction. The users are not the primary customers.
You - the user - typically thinks of yourself as the customer intuitively though, but this is not the case. You are a mere user. Advertisers (and most likely other far more nefarious actors) are the actual CUSTOMERS.
Lets keep it simple and limit to strictly advertisers for now.
Lets imagine I (the company) have a room, and it's raining outside and this room is open to the public (the users). Anyone can come in and spend as much time in this room as you like and there is no upfront cost. It's not "free" as people like to proclaim, but there is no upfront monetary exchange between me (the company) and you (the user).
Now imagine the room is a big square box, and all around the entire room is one way glass. Anyone on the outside of the room can see in, but if you're inside you would have no idea there is anyone outside watching, that can see in, and see you, and everything that you do.
This part is super insidious and exactly like the relationship that
exists within these companies, whereby you would never know their is another party involved, let alone watching and surveiling your every move. And paying to be able to do it. This is where the monetary exchange is happening.
So while you're in the room, escaping the rain, the room seems like a great product and even more so because there is no upfront cost to you. My customers are all crowded around on the outside of the room staring into the one-way glass and analyzing and assessing your every move.
So fucking creepy.
yeah perfect. I considered muting, but i thought i’d monitor it more first. Tend to mute once the trend is clearly established, or I just really cbf with something specific. Normally just a vibe thing
haha no need to apologise. it’s all good. I’m curious if anyone else has noticed any kind of shift. or maybe just a couple anomalies on my side
for sure. in many cases this is true. Often its because people don’t treat digital comms like real comms. They’re detached as if it were a video game.
oh totally, just thought it was weird. My base assumption is that they’re just bots tbh
I’ve received a few strange replies lately. Very un-nostr like.Name calling and seeming negative energy and unkind. Weird 😅🤷♂️
It doesn’t bother me, I just kind of shrug and move on, but i have noticed a slight shift. Whether they’re bots or actual angry people is not obvious yet.. but stands as a significant deviation from the last year or two
lets make filing Freedom Of Information requests 10x easier and lets do it 1000x more
Like to spin up a relay?
haha yeah. I don’t think so.. just saying, “what if”
Imagine it came out and he’d quietly stacked more than Saylor 🤣
What if Elon has been stacking this whole time, like a total psychopath.
The doggystylecoin thing was just a clever troll of bitcoiners, while helping to throw the mainstream off the scent and give him bulk opportunity to stack before price is USD Peso’s goes intergalactic
Competition is a powerful force
I’ve always found if you are focussed toward something improving; if you track it for all parties and share the information, the baseline performance almost always lift significantly.
Lets do this for governments, nation states and specific to privacy and how these entites can better compete for productive freedom loving sovereign individuals gracing them with their presence.
