Yeah. I liked Spider-Man before Marvel.
Now to understand new Spider-Man movies you need to have seen 39 other Marvel movies, the post-trailer clips of 5 other movies, and carry a 1,000 page encyclopedia of all Marvel movies.

It has to be nuanced. You are both right in a way.
For example, in the American Southwest they imposed strict water regulations (can’t water lawn, etc) even if consumer water consumption is only ~15% of the overall water consumption for the region. That’s not fair to put the blame on individuals. It’s the same for gas stoves, state controlled thermostat, etc.
That said, who wants to live in a planet full of smog and 40C weather. Orange skies in NYC look pretty on your insta feed but are terrible for the population.

You should never have that much money on a phone wallet. For exchanges apps then you have to wonder if you really need it on your phone.
Maybe you have a use case for it, but then I’d question why you need a phone for “maxxing communications”. You need to protect your personal data on all your phones and avoid privacy nightmare apps like Facebook, Tik Tok, etc.

It’s the same on Reddit. You can tip via in app purchases, but they also have moons and tokens for certain subs which have a monetary value. People literally get paid to post. Moons reward content creators (many farm moons).
How do you find the Twitter zaps? Is it IAP?

Maybe because they want the 1M sats more than the 5000. If you pay 5000 the money is gone from your wallet. But chances are that for every person that transfers 1M some people will leave all or some of it on WoS which will drive more activities, and fees. My guess.

That said I like to be “paid” to post. I’m not a Nostr celebrity like you #[3] but it’s still rewarding even though the amount is well, a couple of pennies.
Looking at sites like Twitter or Reddit, any interactions you make profits them. Page views = more ads. If you pay to reward someone on Reddit, Reddit gets the money and the recipient gets a new icon for their profile! (Eek).
On Nostr or Stacker News at least the money is distributed to other users. I’d rather have a million users be a tiny bit richer than have a million users enrich a single CEO.
I know it’s not quite the same issue you are asking about but I’d be curious to see how decentralization impacts how people view giving away sats.

2023-05-06 11:40:15

- reply

That’d be a good PhD thesis!
Reddit is similar with karma points. There’s lots of posts farming points. But what’s interesting is that some subs recently adopted reward systems tied to money … r/cryptocurrencies has moons.
I don’t have empirical evidence but a lot of people complained about the change saying that now people just post whatever will get them the most money.
Stacker news is like that too. You get zaps for posts or comments. How would the feed compare if it was just worthless points?
Any behavioural economists in the room? 😂

I agree with #[5] … existing clients should be as accessible as possible. It’s not fair to tell a person with a disability that they can’t use a leading app just because the developer didn’t want to make it accessible.
It’s like saying to people in a wheelchair “no you can’t use public transit because our buses are not accessible… so go build your own transit system”.
Damus has some (very basic) accessibility features such as an option to disable animations, and the ability for Damus to respect font size as set up in iOS as opposed to use a randomly small text size as in the earlier version. That doesn’t hinder the experience for anyone.

It would be a scam if you had to invest your own money. You don’t need to invest anything.
If you post useful content you could get sats, if you choose to. Later, you can choose to redistribute the sats you got by zapping other posts. I never invested a single dollar on Nostr.
Using sats or understanding Bitcoin is not a requirement to use Nostr. In fact, there’s probably too many Bitcoiners here! 😅 But most would be more than happy to answer any questions you may have about it.
Heck, many people even went sats to newbies, no strings attached. A reverse scam? 🤣
