Not for me!” They’re from South Africa and got that apt in debt #bitcoin npub1mqhe79fa25v5lqrefju2en0fcrjc7f5sv3u54ardpwhmw5dxygesrwa324 max non developer checking in 🫡 npub1mqhe79fa25v5lqrefju2en0fcrjc7f5sv3u54ardpwhmw5dxygesrwa324 max how primal is working but not damus? npub1mqhe79fa25v5lqrefju2en0fcrjc7f5sv3u54ardpwhmw5dxygesrwa324 max from levelsio on twitter? he's been sharing a lot of these recently, finally this stuff is getting public npub1mqhe79fa25v5lqrefju2en0fcrjc7f5sv3u54ardpwhmw5dxygesrwa324 max They definitely are, but these names stay consistent and nostr is a recent thing while most of us are alive for a few decades now. So it makes it harder for people to find peers they know on nostr compared to facebook etc. This network effect may be slowing nostr down significantly and may be a blocker to adoption, unless we don't want more adoption npub1mqhe79fa25v5lqrefju2en0fcrjc7f5sv3u54ardpwhmw5dxygesrwa324 max Interesting thinking, but ideas come from people right, otherwise you could launch ChatGPT or any language LLM to spin up as many ideas you can handle right npub1mqhe79fa25v5lqrefju2en0fcrjc7f5sv3u54ardpwhmw5dxygesrwa324 max in general, it feels kinda fake when you’re interacting with all these pseudonyms instead of people like on twitter Is it essential to hide our identities on nostr? Are we really in danger yet? Don’t think any government will go after us for sending a few sats back and forth npub1mqhe79fa25v5lqrefju2en0fcrjc7f5sv3u54ardpwhmw5dxygesrwa324 max in trending it’s mostly memes, jack, dev updates etc npub1mqhe79fa25v5lqrefju2en0fcrjc7f5sv3u54ardpwhmw5dxygesrwa324 max Realizing it’s quite tedious to find people to follow on nostr, everyone is anonymous here, how do we network? Any lists of essential follows on nostr? #asknostr #nostr npub1mqhe79fa25v5lqrefju2en0fcrjc7f5sv3u54ardpwhmw5dxygesrwa324 max what’s happening man npub1mqhe79fa25v5lqrefju2en0fcrjc7f5sv3u54ardpwhmw5dxygesrwa324 max Anyone here familiar with 0xdesigner? I’m thinking to do smth similar for BTC and Nostr, consistently #nostr #design #concept #vision npub1mqhe79fa25v5lqrefju2en0fcrjc7f5sv3u54ardpwhmw5dxygesrwa324 max gm npub1mqhe79fa25v5lqrefju2en0fcrjc7f5sv3u54ardpwhmw5dxygesrwa324 max Are they claiming warpcast is decentralized? They’re not and it isn’t npub1mqhe79fa25v5lqrefju2en0fcrjc7f5sv3u54ardpwhmw5dxygesrwa324 max Bitcoin Atlantis coming to an end and I’m glad to make it here instead of a ETH Denver. Bitcoin is the best product out there to solve fiat money issues we’re having. But its lacking behind badly on accessibility, user experience, utility and adoption. I’ve heard and believe it as well that great products that are better than web2 and crypto alternatives should get people in for utility, it’s in everyone’s interests. There are some really great products coming out on nostr that I found out from the conference and already started looking deeper into. Next year for a Bitcoin Atlantis I can imagine a far bigger conference and with a lot more designers and products being showcased. Thanks everyone who made it possible and got me to be thinking about ways to push bitcoin utility as a cash system truly to the masses, globally and accessible Right now we don’t have anything close to that, Primal is the best app I’ve used so far on nostr npub1mqhe79fa25v5lqrefju2en0fcrjc7f5sv3u54ardpwhmw5dxygesrwa324 max Didn’t know about the hack sorry. Your email could’ve been scrapped from anywhere on web2 as well no? There’s a risk with every piece of personal information put online. But still there is a place for a client that asks for an email to increase adoption. No one outside nostr has any clue what npub means and I don’t think that’s an advantage. Private keys also being shared between any clients makes it a lot more riskier than having one place like a vault like wallet to sign you in for every nostr app using it or some form of abstraction to not be giving out full access to your profile for every client etc. npub1mqhe79fa25v5lqrefju2en0fcrjc7f5sv3u54ardpwhmw5dxygesrwa324 max Well that’s one approach to build it, if he fails it’ll strengthen nostr right, if he succeeds - we’ll have to learn and adapt it to nostr, we win in all cases, why be negative with people and other founders especially over fucking email registration? look at how many users he’s got in the past month and how many nostr got look at how many bots are on nostr vs farcaster look at how many projects launched in a month on farcaster vs nostr people aren’t ready to go fully decentralized yet and they aren’t ready to switch to something that isn’t at least matching the UX of current mass market platforms being a designer myself, it’s very easy to beat UX of facebook or instagram, if we just copy it and remove ads - it’ll get people to switch already, we can already zap people too - that’d be a game changer farcaster gives you an option to buy its token with credit card, now imagine if you want to top up sats - what’s that process gonna look like if you don’t own any bitcoin which most people don’t? npub1mqhe79fa25v5lqrefju2en0fcrjc7f5sv3u54ardpwhmw5dxygesrwa324 max One example is if we’ve done an alternative search engine powered by nostr or some other protocol built specifically for search where user experience would be key and then using bitcoin there in a similar way nostr is using it. Now if we build a great brand for a search app, build it like a real product only without bureaucracy and having a centralized entity, program stakes and voting power? Can be anything but what’s new here and needs figuring out is a setup for a “company” of the future that belongs to the whole world so that we don’t have to worry about jurisdictions because we don’t have any on nostr or the internet right. npub1mqhe79fa25v5lqrefju2en0fcrjc7f5sv3u54ardpwhmw5dxygesrwa324 max Like for a lightning wallet, all that a normal person needs to know is basically: - how to get lightning - how to receive - how to send/pay - maybe how to sell for fiat / how to buy for fiat - everything else is extra right, either for devs, node runners etc. merchants can have a separate use case, would’ve been dope to setup a marketing page targeting these 2 personas directly like uber has pages for drivers and passengers right npub1mqhe79fa25v5lqrefju2en0fcrjc7f5sv3u54ardpwhmw5dxygesrwa324 max Definitely up for it, rn I’m trying to make a living on web2/3 to not eat up too much of those hard earned sats. Once that’s solved we’re gonna push it further than its ever been ⚡️ Better resources/courses/education on nostr can be essential need here, what’s the best way to look into protocol etc, for a non developer? there must be a way like it wasn’t that hard for me to get how ETH L2s work and such and it’s best to learn in practice but when it’s all decentralized every mistake you do is critical in a way? npub1mqhe79fa25v5lqrefju2en0fcrjc7f5sv3u54ardpwhmw5dxygesrwa324 max Makes sense, not undermining the incredible work done here, I get that it’s a lot harder than pushing a centralized thing and worth the effort. But as long as these limitations are here, there’s little designers can do and therefore there’s little reach of that technology leaps. I remember hearing something about Primal using caching service which is basically a centralized server no? To keep it running smoothly for UX, kind of a compromise? npub1mqhe79fa25v5lqrefju2en0fcrjc7f5sv3u54ardpwhmw5dxygesrwa324 max had us for a moment lol npub1mqhe79fa25v5lqrefju2en0fcrjc7f5sv3u54ardpwhmw5dxygesrwa324 max making best UX and UI you’d enjoy using isn’t scam, and with comments like that are you producing anything of value for humanity? I’m advocating for a better humane design on all of bitcoin and nostr, bitcoin should be accessible to everyone and kinda cooler than ethereum stuff no? Why are we building it like houses in a cave instead of super modern glass on a shore that’s easy to access and get into (and definitely not scary to) Why aren’t we attracting best creative talent in and incentivizing to make bitcoin and nostr visually and from UX side spotless? Shitcoins can pay for it while the biggest cryptocurrency can’t? I know we’re doing it like people should come on their own, figure out what bitcoin is and eventually become maxi and push it further, maybe that’s a better way. I’m bullish though, Primal is great now and more coming, we’ll see if multiple clients concept will work, right now it seems like people are using whatever they find or is available on their platform, nothing works on all platforms equally well but we’ll get there. At least one example, for newcomers it can be a single go to app with rewards for completing learning bites etc. npub1mqhe79fa25v5lqrefju2en0fcrjc7f5sv3u54ardpwhmw5dxygesrwa324 max I think there’s a lot we can learn from web3 (I know) projects. I love how they’re trying to escape the boring look of typical corporate giants, bootstrapping nature and there are some good ideas hiding behind all these airdrops and nfts - and it aligns in many ways with what we’re here for with bitcoin over time as bitcoin growths in terms of user adoption, ease of use and being an obvious go to solution for things other than money transfer, which is now getting far already with nostr - that’s where real growth and adoption happens. Check out this product built for ETH L2 for example hypersub.withfabric.xyz - it’s better than L2 alternatives in every way. This is how we should win people over, instead of telling them here is a link to 50 lightning wallets, some of them work on android only etc and then pick the one that works for you - but people need the basics - send and receive bitcoin, it’s that simple. I haven’t seen a wallet yet that’s intuitive, that’s probably the reason Primal built another one into the app. Now as I’m not a very active nostr user recently I still got like 3 places where I can have sats + a cashu thing We’d benefit from just collaborating on an open source single wallet we can point people to with intent to make it the simplest + can offer small incentives with a few sats at least to learn more about the underlying technology, on off ramps etc. Right now people install wallet of satoshi, primal or whatever but how to send actual sats to it? Big big question for people unfamiliar, unless someone else who already have it sends it. But since bitcoin is limited in supply and be more mainstream I’d expect on off ramps to be a bit less relevant over time. Ok wrapping up this long post haha just sharing thoughts after Day 1 of bitcoin atlantis #nostrdesign #atlantis https://m.primal.net/HgkK.jpg npub1mqhe79fa25v5lqrefju2en0fcrjc7f5sv3u54ardpwhmw5dxygesrwa324 max no fiat is immune npub1mqhe79fa25v5lqrefju2en0fcrjc7f5sv3u54ardpwhmw5dxygesrwa324 max Most people not realizing this yet npub1mqhe79fa25v5lqrefju2en0fcrjc7f5sv3u54ardpwhmw5dxygesrwa324 max Insane how far we’ve got, just reminded by Jack You can zap me in a tap and I can go down the street and have a dinner with these sats, literally, insane npub1mqhe79fa25v5lqrefju2en0fcrjc7f5sv3u54ardpwhmw5dxygesrwa324 max ONWARD IT IS npub1mqhe79fa25v5lqrefju2en0fcrjc7f5sv3u54ardpwhmw5dxygesrwa324 max Warpcast got channels, here it’s kind of a single feed only with option to be separated by hashtags it seems or within certain clients Then just attract the people who talk and share about other things Quite complex problem tbh npub1mqhe79fa25v5lqrefju2en0fcrjc7f5sv3u54ardpwhmw5dxygesrwa324 max The tech seems pretty cool here, but explanation/marketing is so off Fine for an early version though Spending time on Farcaster I notice how quickly people bootstrap projects out there and they turn out to work really well from both marketing and tech Last month alone there are countless projects launched that are pretty awesome and make money for people. I think that what’s missing on nostr, zaps are cool but lightning has its issues and that the only currency we have with expensive on/off rails npub1mqhe79fa25v5lqrefju2en0fcrjc7f5sv3u54ardpwhmw5dxygesrwa324 max Yeah I meant as a user Cool thing that it’s already available to everyone on nostr Looks super technical tho, I’ve been having out full time on ETH space for the past weeks and it’s amazing how well they’ve got the user experience sorted npub1mqhe79fa25v5lqrefju2en0fcrjc7f5sv3u54ardpwhmw5dxygesrwa324 max Great intro on my opinion! What would be the steps to get this cashu setup? npub1mqhe79fa25v5lqrefju2en0fcrjc7f5sv3u54ardpwhmw5dxygesrwa324 max I do web/product - dinosave.co / bento.me/mxd npub1mqhe79fa25v5lqrefju2en0fcrjc7f5sv3u54ardpwhmw5dxygesrwa324 max I’d bet more on the second npub1mqhe79fa25v5lqrefju2en0fcrjc7f5sv3u54ardpwhmw5dxygesrwa324 max It’s a robbery basically npub1mqhe79fa25v5lqrefju2en0fcrjc7f5sv3u54ardpwhmw5dxygesrwa324 max solid on my opinion, encountered maybe one bug over months dev community there seems to be super active, last Friday they released frames and today we already have a frame token, games playable in these frames and much more - such a simple feature pushed engagement to ATH I think it’s also because most people use warpcast from Dan, which makes him a great leader vs on nostr every client competes with each other on amount of bugs it has - on warpcast you just come in and engage with people npub1mqhe79fa25v5lqrefju2en0fcrjc7f5sv3u54ardpwhmw5dxygesrwa324 max but they could be npub1mqhe79fa25v5lqrefju2en0fcrjc7f5sv3u54ardpwhmw5dxygesrwa324 max Instead of VCs it could be government or a community/fund who would help you financially to build your company and grow it With a community you’ll already have users, feedback loops etc. (similar to nouns) Government/community are more interested in making it better for the people rather than do a good business npub1mqhe79fa25v5lqrefju2en0fcrjc7f5sv3u54ardpwhmw5dxygesrwa324 max I think we need to support bootstrappers and give them more visibility and credit vs all these VC backed companies This week there is, for example, a popular app update for Amie and it gets lots of attention on Twitter It got $7 million for a calendar app SAAS lol. Issue also that VCs in majority want money out of you more than anything else so we end up seeing only success in how much startups earns and it’s often something B2B where a bigger corporation pays smaller company because they’ve got insane money in their accounts in the first place npub1mqhe79fa25v5lqrefju2en0fcrjc7f5sv3u54ardpwhmw5dxygesrwa324 max No one can change the regulation, countless laws and taxes we’ve got, banks and finance. The ideas that would elevate us and change the world are pretty simple, bitcoin was founded because of that too But no one will allow you to do that because it’ll make a lot of people loose their monopolies and power npub1mqhe79fa25v5lqrefju2en0fcrjc7f5sv3u54ardpwhmw5dxygesrwa324 max I was excited to get ps5 but turned out they only have a few big titles and a lot of it is monsters or horror so I keep playing fifa lol like10 years ago + gta5 sometimes npub1mqhe79fa25v5lqrefju2en0fcrjc7f5sv3u54ardpwhmw5dxygesrwa324 max whoa, I’ll think I’ll add bitcoin just in case too as a backup if someone wants to you ended up finding a way to get paid in bitcoin in the end haha, right? npub1mqhe79fa25v5lqrefju2en0fcrjc7f5sv3u54ardpwhmw5dxygesrwa324 max Did you see anyone using it? npub1mqhe79fa25v5lqrefju2en0fcrjc7f5sv3u54ardpwhmw5dxygesrwa324 max Launched my design subscription currenly on Base chain and using Credit cards. Is there anything similar on nostr or a payment provider using BTC/Lightning? Or is the only way nostr and bitcoin projects are progressing by funding directly to the people from opensats etc.? @npub1r0r…q9ac https://hypersub.withfabric.xyz/collection/amply-partner-miptrlhnajgg npub1mqhe79fa25v5lqrefju2en0fcrjc7f5sv3u54ardpwhmw5dxygesrwa324 max I’d be spending a lot more time on nostr if it had a good and reliable client on web like warpcast npub1mqhe79fa25v5lqrefju2en0fcrjc7f5sv3u54ardpwhmw5dxygesrwa324 max That’s the indicator of why they’re failing. Must be hell internally, too slow and no innovation like all big companies except apple npub1mqhe79fa25v5lqrefju2en0fcrjc7f5sv3u54ardpwhmw5dxygesrwa324 max Built a Framer website and a purchasable template in the last 3 days basically. https://sleekify.framer.website/ npub1mqhe79fa25v5lqrefju2en0fcrjc7f5sv3u54ardpwhmw5dxygesrwa324 max Anyone selects their country as US when shopping online to avoid paying VAT? How they can charge VAT for a product that’s not location based. These laws are too confusing for online transactions in fiat npub1mqhe79fa25v5lqrefju2en0fcrjc7f5sv3u54ardpwhmw5dxygesrwa324 max Something works sometimes now lol. To post this message I tried 5 times on Primal with 2 app restarts and now trying from snort on web lol npub1mqhe79fa25v5lqrefju2en0fcrjc7f5sv3u54ardpwhmw5dxygesrwa324 max thanks! will post once ready 🫡 npub1mqhe79fa25v5lqrefju2en0fcrjc7f5sv3u54ardpwhmw5dxygesrwa324 max its all over the place in a way 😅 npub1mqhe79fa25v5lqrefju2en0fcrjc7f5sv3u54ardpwhmw5dxygesrwa324 max no, happy to, it's not public since a lot of work was private under agency. I'll be putting a simple personal site with what's public and smaller projects I did/working on. I'm sending you figma link in DM 🙌 npub1mqhe79fa25v5lqrefju2en0fcrjc7f5sv3u54ardpwhmw5dxygesrwa324 max What happened to Snort? 😅 https://void.cat/d/4w3ynuASQ4CmFJ3gHP6XCN.webp npub1mqhe79fa25v5lqrefju2en0fcrjc7f5sv3u54ardpwhmw5dxygesrwa324 max Looking for design work lol. Just finished figma portfolio and building a small personal website while building a few small non web3 related products. npub1mqhe79fa25v5lqrefju2en0fcrjc7f5sv3u54ardpwhmw5dxygesrwa324 max What’s up with typography in that doc lol npub1mqhe79fa25v5lqrefju2en0fcrjc7f5sv3u54ardpwhmw5dxygesrwa324 max Depends on the product/use but I agree pagination can work better in many cases where it’s infinite scroll npub1mqhe79fa25v5lqrefju2en0fcrjc7f5sv3u54ardpwhmw5dxygesrwa324 max Global corporations that have physical presence like internet operators, power grid etc. like Vodafone or EDP Vodafone in particular on my experience is the worst, least humane company out there I had to deal with, and I think the fact that it’s multinational and super rich - makes it able to continue to do that kind of business. For a multinational company success metrics are different and as a result people get manipulated and squeezed. Thousands of designers, call centers and developers are working to make it worse for the general public. They have all the resources and lawyers to make their activities legal, maybe even paying to local politicians etc. Especially in case of internet providers I think they must be national companies and setup in a way that they only enable growth, are secure and can’t be exploited or impose limits on freedoms (in worst case scenarios) The way they do business is super outdated too and overpriced compared to alternatives existing today. All employees I dealt with are either trying to manipulate you or are bored to death. If you open maps and check each of their office it’s hard to find one that has rating above 2 stars. I’m wondering how these toxic companies can exist today and no one seem to be working on solving that issue or thinking about that npub1mqhe79fa25v5lqrefju2en0fcrjc7f5sv3u54ardpwhmw5dxygesrwa324 max This is hilarious npub1mqhe79fa25v5lqrefju2en0fcrjc7f5sv3u54ardpwhmw5dxygesrwa324 max Is warpcaster for farcaster like damus for nostr - in a way ETH vs BTC based protocol? npub1mqhe79fa25v5lqrefju2en0fcrjc7f5sv3u54ardpwhmw5dxygesrwa324 max Can’t imagine myself working for fiat anymore for my next big commitment. npub1mqhe79fa25v5lqrefju2en0fcrjc7f5sv3u54ardpwhmw5dxygesrwa324 max What are your thoughts on Farcaster and Warpcast? npub1mqhe79fa25v5lqrefju2en0fcrjc7f5sv3u54ardpwhmw5dxygesrwa324 max What’s the best client to use on Mac arm? Or best is web based? What are you using? #asknostr npub1mqhe79fa25v5lqrefju2en0fcrjc7f5sv3u54ardpwhmw5dxygesrwa324 max What are nostr related sites/apps you visit daily/weekly? #asknostr npub1mqhe79fa25v5lqrefju2en0fcrjc7f5sv3u54ardpwhmw5dxygesrwa324 max It was a big deal for me. I’m 25 and grown there from junior. I was the first employee in the agency and glad I've contributed to its success directly and indirectly, by the time I left: • Agency's revenue grown significantly • Team grown to 4 full time designers • Our clients exited for over $2B in total • Contributed 6600+ hours of work, research, meetings in total https://image.nostr.build/58879943b6f4fa77028edc1ca82e46cccecb420577cd305baefd15a3d046d9dd.jpg npub1mqhe79fa25v5lqrefju2en0fcrjc7f5sv3u54ardpwhmw5dxygesrwa324 max Anyone looking for a product designer now? I’ll be monitoring Bitcoin community for opportunities for my next job to be a lot more meaningful. npub1mqhe79fa25v5lqrefju2en0fcrjc7f5sv3u54ardpwhmw5dxygesrwa324 max Excited to announce I parted ways with my full time agency job today! I developed a disaffection for corporations, for how slow they are and for how they work. npub1mqhe79fa25v5lqrefju2en0fcrjc7f5sv3u54ardpwhmw5dxygesrwa324 max Can there be a nostr client for web perhaps that’s a copy of the twitter before it became X? npub1mqhe79fa25v5lqrefju2en0fcrjc7f5sv3u54ardpwhmw5dxygesrwa324 max Launched a product today! Dinosave – Chrome Extension: Save products, build wishlists, track price drops and more https://www.producthunt.com/posts/dinosave-chrome-extension npub1mqhe79fa25v5lqrefju2en0fcrjc7f5sv3u54ardpwhmw5dxygesrwa324 max Happy 15 years to Bitcoin's white paper 🎉 That's the only thing I'm celebrating today npub1mqhe79fa25v5lqrefju2en0fcrjc7f5sv3u54ardpwhmw5dxygesrwa324 max Is it a good idea to make an invite only client which will only show posts from people that are in? This way there’ll be almost no bots, just need to figure out how to go about inviting when people are anonymous npub1mqhe79fa25v5lqrefju2en0fcrjc7f5sv3u54ardpwhmw5dxygesrwa324 max It just looks and feels better than any nostr client I've seen so far. Just look at where the text of the post starts and compare it to posts or twitter. I think only this small tweak makes a big difference compared to Snort, Damus for what I've just checked https://void.cat/d/9nP2SyFDjPB6RRAqXkaFnu.webp npub1mqhe79fa25v5lqrefju2en0fcrjc7f5sv3u54ardpwhmw5dxygesrwa324 max Interesting take. As for bugs, just tried to reply in Luma and got an empty screen now nothing happening https://void.cat/d/8MGeDEFsxy32ctXcdbGdhT.webp npub1mqhe79fa25v5lqrefju2en0fcrjc7f5sv3u54ardpwhmw5dxygesrwa324 max Also in general, when each client can show your post in a different way -> by definition makes viewing experience chaotic. When it's more being shared than a text -> link, image, post etc. npub1mqhe79fa25v5lqrefju2en0fcrjc7f5sv3u54ardpwhmw5dxygesrwa324 max Just found out https://posts.cv/ exists Looks similar to twitter and pretty clean and slick. I think a lot of nostr clients would benefit from copying it or twitter first before diverging into it's own thing - getting the basics right like posts layout etc. npub1mqhe79fa25v5lqrefju2en0fcrjc7f5sv3u54ardpwhmw5dxygesrwa324 max https://edition.cnn.com/2023/10/20/politics/us-israel-ukraine-aid-package/index.html Imagine how many startups the government could've funded with amount of money like this? It's $1 mil for 100,000 startups and $500k for 200,000 startups for a seed round. For an indie bootstrapper it'd be enough money to live for multiple years and build many valuable things for other people, community and state. US will always get these money back from the VATs and other taxes because you'll inevitable pay them when you shop, hire people and from everything else that you do with money. That's also like at least 200k jobs created instantly, it seems like economy goes in that direction anyways where many people need to quit their boring jobs and do something they truly care about. And government has the best positioning to provide aid for that because VCs and investors only want money as a return. Government could also issue bounties like that for up to a $1mil to improve on every aspect of the government and locally. The communities themselves can come up with ideas and identify the problems to fix and put money into, maybe even without the middleman - the government to allow them to. Like if there is a broken bench, any person with skills and time could take funds off the fund and fix it that day or order a new one etc, with government this would take days by minimum. I think most taxes should go towards the area you live in and the digital projects for it and the country that you have to use anyways. Switzerland has it a bit like that and even small towns there are spotless, very well built, for people with reduced mobility as well, long and carefully designed bike lanes that aren't existing in big cities in other countries even. And so whenever most of your taxes are paid to the main entity controlling the whole big country, it can't effectively work with and improve on every neighbourhood. I think the best way of living and governance is within smaller neighborhoods/areas, that's when you can get deep into every details of everything around you npub1mqhe79fa25v5lqrefju2en0fcrjc7f5sv3u54ardpwhmw5dxygesrwa324 max You can’t grow it forever, people already can be at the point of spending all of the time they have on youtube without paying. And then start paying for it is a huge challenge because it’s just entertainment that’s made in a way for you to come back often
