Great read from Freddie DeBoer addressing a problem that (hopefully) #nostr and bitcoin solves.
Last paragraph: “Unfortunately, advertising has been ingrained into the internet as the basic model for so long and to such an extent that it’s hard to envision online life without the systematic manipulation of attention and all its evils. So we’re bound to wind up here, at the bitter end of “content.” Which is a good excuse to withdraw deeper into books, movies, albums, and art, stuff that was created for a deeper purpose than mining fleeting bits of attention for fractions of a penny. The question is whether generations who have grown up immersed in these platforms can imagine life without them, and whether we're cursed to live with them ourselves.”

Ok, I’ll try that. Thanks for the help!

No, Siddharth is doing gods work, man. At least as far as I can tell. Sorry for being unclear.

Listened to him on Rogan. Absolutely awful.
I see. Yeah it doesn’t seem like it would solve internet trolling, obviously. But I do think that anonymity increases the likelihood of troll-like behavior. A lot of vitriol would probably not be uttered if the person’s real identity was obvious.
