THE POINT BEING IT'S BETTER THAN IT SEEMS
A lot of people couldn't say what they really think. A lot of people could have but thought they couldn't. A lot of people suffered consequences for doing so. I'm in all three categories, but I don't have the capacity or experience to understand those who had it otherwise. Or were squarely in 3.

"I really like the user experience of custodial services. I would never put a lot of money into any one of them though, because I don't trust them. Just like I wouldn't walk around with $10000 in my physical wallet. The risk that it gets stolen is simply to great. At the same time, this risk doesn't mean I will get rid of my physical wallet. I think having a wallet with some cash in it is super useful. I will mittigate the risk by reducing the amount I carry inside that wallet. This is the same way I think about digital money I hold in custodial wallets, be it an ecash service or others."
Would significant global transaction volume in paper wallets, and satscards, mitigate the tradeoffs?
I capitalized everything and it still seems like I'm sick of it all every time I play pool. Hmm
lol
When I feel sick of it all I like to play pool and think about it until i find some synthesis.
Extracting (or creating) 'meaning from experience' as one might say.
Discovering unresolved issues in my life and in my approach to this turn.
Learning to disallow non-functional influences harmful to the result at which I aim.
Trying to simplify my approach and clear my mind.
Enjoying the tunes
Inauthentic communication among loved ones is a symptom of a non-functional regime.

The disparity in expertise between the 'expert' and the layman allows for the industry to span decades despite providing no provable benefit. The perceived benefit - the myth - is enough. 'Advertisers still put a billion a year of advertising into radio!' Yeah, and also into Madame Cleo's Psychic Hotline. 'How should I get elected?' ... 'Put out costly mailers no matter what the post office charges and ignore the internet!'
Spamming is an entry level position, I assume requires only an email address and time, allowing the entire world to participate, most of whom are desperate and of a worldview that money is unjustly distributed (success at spamming would be ethical redistribution, to some). These and other delusions correlated with unwise behaviors make it worth testing whether spamming is an industry that is beyond its usefulness rather than profitable generally.
I would test that... are they profitable? Mere existence is not proof of sustainability. The bots we see may be largely those who imagine it will be one day be profitable, neophytes and unemployables desperately trying the ethically unjustifiable get rich quick schemes. It could be that the profitable spam accounts for some tiny portion of it. Everywhere else we see targeted advertising reign; it appears to have proven more efficient.
Idea a) note staging/triaging relays 'noob relays': relays that accept all notes, filter spam from them and offer a concentrated remainder as a service (wot rateable, 3rd party auditable service)
Idea b) reverse auditing the timestamps of notes by an npub manually/visually (a visual representation of the time distribution may show obvious algoposting to human). could be displayed alongside a visual representation of a word frequency analysis sourced from the npub's past N notes; perhaps deviation from typical vocabulary is a usable metric
Idea c) client sends a random bit of user data with the note. i.e. how long did it take between final character typed and 'submit note' was clicked? what deviation from straight line tangents were the mouse movements in the 3 seconds prior to posting? Was the note's text copy/pasted into the note editing box, or was it typed? Client sends just one of these bits of data to minimize making personal info public, but npubuser does not know which one will be sent, and so it is difficult to game, but helps to identify real users (and manual spammers).
