Let’s take a minute to appreciate what the #plebchain is doing on nostr and why it will be difficult for traditional social media inflooencers to make the jump…
A lot of normies are followers, they struggle with learning anything new and will wait for someone else to figure something out before making a change. Change is hard for most people.
Knowing that people resist change, big Inflooencer get stuck on platforms because only the die hards followers would move with them to a new platform. The vast majority of people will not make the switch.
But the fallacy is that you need all those followers. The die hard followers are the ones who engage. They are the ones that should be catered to, not the masses that just follow and consume content.
But the current system is built on an advertising model that monetizes the people who follow and consume, they are valuable in this system and are hard to ditch.
People don’t know how to monetize a non advertisement based system yet, and that’s what we are doing here on nostr. We are building value for value. V4V is about community, listening to wants and needs, and selling something of value, not just being present and flashy for fake engagement.
Once we figure this out, these inflooencers will have to make a choice. Do they want to pivot? or ride the dying platform to the ground? They will be the ones facing change.
All I know is that we plebs will be positioned well for the future. PV.
