Past decade: sell your kidney to get more
Now: put it in a hot wallet and give it away
There should just be rate limits on reactions.
You want to like = 1 sat
want to repost = 5 sats
want to custom zap = you can.
Why sit here and judge and morality test a tap on a screen.
I agree but I feel like we still aren’t on the same page but that’s okay because nothing here is set in stone
How about this: Say you want to approach someone at a bar. You wouldn’t walk in within the first 15 seconds and throw money down and buy them a drink. You scan the room, see if they are with anyone, see if you can even approach them. It’s the same thing with normal interaction or digital.
You can’t expect Billy Bob normal guy to show up see your post and throw sats or determine that they too provide value because it’s normal human tendency that they too have value or what they say has value. Although the likes do not mean anything the little interactions and little things go a lot longer than saying my sats show my worth. Idk if that makes sense
100% I agree with you but I think we are running in circles here not sure how else to explain it
Not at all. But just like anything with value that value can be manipulated just like an algorithm so I’m more interested in the idea of likes being useless but if a user gives sats with nothing in return that is not. It seems like a one sided incentive
At that point we end up subjugating “value” in a denomination and that denomination becomes the algorithm. Regardless of the propagation of their popularity the entire idea that the denomination itself can then be utilized to determine worth or value of an opinion in itself is censorship by taking value from someone else and leaving them with nothing as well as no hope to return anything. It’s telling a user that “hey thanks for the sats, but you aren’t *insert the adjective* enough to receive in return
Its encouraging people to give their money into posts capitalizing it for individuals who are deemed “influential” and keeping it within a system that can use to silence those who do not wish to give into the system by eliminating ways for people to engage. This therefore creates a funnel preventing engagement for new users and that could be used to collude against users where individuals that build the “decentralized ecosystem”. It feels like a loot box to me but maybe I’m thinking about it the wrong way
“ItS aBoUt DcEnTrAliZaTiOn”
But I don’t want to see them unless they throw sats at me
“You don’t deserve the job you’re applying for”
