Fedi used to be more fun.

Too many people have given Elon a pass. Don't give him a pass.

He's a marketer, not a founder or an engineer. He didn't found PayPal or Tesla; he bought into them early. He's good at selling narratives and equity valuation for perpetually unprofitable companies.

Everything for him is a narrative. His green revolution was a narrative to sell more cars and get more subsidies. His bitcoin purchase was to gain appeal among bitcoin/crypto people in a bull market. And he shilled doge like a dumbass. His SpaceX narrative is to get money from the government.

His rooftop solar thing was an outright scam; the technology isn't ready and went nowhere because of that. His full-self-driving-in-an-intermediate-term timeline was a scam, and is going nowhere because of that. He makes scams to draw people and capital in, because for him it's all about narratives and equity valuation.

And then he dug unproductive holes, suggested unproductive hyper-tubes, built meme flamethrowers, for what? It's a narrative, not a business. None of this is real productive shit to make peoples' lives better.

His latest "we need free speech" narrative was a scam too. He tapped into something real, which is what marketers do and why it kind of worked. Yes, we need free speech. Yes, Twitter had censorship issues. He saw that and jumped on it maliciously rather than productively.

But what did he replace it with? He replaced it with arbitrary journalist censorship about his private jet, arbitrary censorship of Substack, selective Twitter Files release, won't talk seriously about any of his China connections because Xi Jinping fucking owns him economically there like Jack Ma, has his balls firmly in his grasp, etc.

Elon's playing the narrative, the anti-woke meme of the day. He's a master meme-momentum-player. Don't fall for it.

This should be considered a top priority. Test this idea out (or anything else), and then adjust for its relative success or feedback.

Right now a huge limitation for ongoing adoption is making this model monetarily sustainable. Making the technology work is awesome, and a critical first step. Making it a form of sustainable capital is how we change the fucking world.

We need to be thinking about monetization that doesn't rely on centralization or advertising as a matter of course. That is where another major breakthrough can kick things off again.

-- probably another good reason to create/focus on built in marketplaces, and have a revenue share with those as well. A lightning split with "ebay style" listings over Nostr relay could be a big deal. It also redirects the focus on making this an economy, more than just a place to waste time and post memes.

(I'm more than happy to direct a huge portion of zaps to my relays, and/or a portion of anything i sell to a relay that is hosting/propagating my store)

I have no idea what this guy is talking about. I was stating facts and observations, not whining. I am planning on making damus revenue generating, but I am focused on making the app good first. I don’t want to sell something that is crap.
