Folks over on X are having a difficult time understanding why I’m focusing my efforts on #nostr.

Here’s why:

the algorithms are getting to the point where they are sending the same content to everyone. almost every platform. copy of a copy of a copy only to maximize ad impressions.

straight programming, just like the programming of radio, tv, and cable.

i want to be able to create, choose, and share my own algorithms. only way out of the bubbles being created. 🫧

The market doesn't "decide," price controls don't work because the price is a result of voluntary market interaction. It's a thermometer, not the heat itself.

Price controls are analogous to capping the thermometer and letting pressure build up, while claiming that we've controlled the temperature outside.

Saying "the market decides" is like suggesting we are "letting the weather decide the temperature" instead of the weatherman. When the second statement is just nonsense. The weatherman doesn't control the weather, if he is manipulating the thermometer then its just lying about what the real temperature is.

My proposal isn't about "letting the markets decide," because markets are literally the only thing that create prices in the first place. I'm saying we shouldn't have institutions with the express authority to completely monopolize a market and then lie about the price.

Price controls are simply lies, we should just stop lying.

nobody will remember:
- your salary
- how “busy you were”
- how many hours you worked

people will remember:
- if you were a good channel peer
- if you were built like a chiseled Olympian god
- how much you zapped them
