Zaps/Sats4follows is lame & spammy, especially when the account requires everyone to repost it as well. Legacy social media engagement & follower harvesting tactics with a Nostr twist.

What do you think is the "endgame" with these bots? They need followers to... increase their WoT score and thus their reach through the network... right?
They're not always bots, in fact most are real.
That's one thing it can be used for. I just think it's altogether scammy and cringe. I'll pay you to follow me, imagine that in real life, someone paying you a couple quarters to be their "friend" 😂 It's an immediate red flag that the npub has questionable content anyways, otherwise why would they have to pay for followers?
It can be used to get a real npub inside the WoT, then they can shepherd in the bots.
Right... so it's like "engagement farming" then? reach XYZ follower count, then pump a shitcoin?
I think it's the same old, people want more followers, want more engagement, more reach, build their brand and in the case of nostr, more zaps.
More reach is more zaps. Seems pretty simple in a lot of cases.
Who knows the endgame. But yes, same as follow4follow crap on insta/tiktok. Preying on peoples want for followers, or in this case a pittance of sats.
That too. Obsessing over numbers. Sats are more diabolical I think though because there is actual value there.
Yeah this seems likely. Get your farmed content in front of more eyes, collect more zaps. The sats4follow cost is an "investment" 😂
That game's far too easy on nostr
This is why I religiously avoid meme reposting accounts, and people who boost them 😂
I don't think I've seen a stand out/ strong meme account on nostr, and I don't really mind reposting style accounts, but the 'memers' here are pretty basic low twir crypto meme account re posters, or turbo normies 'life advice' slop lol. And the 'OC' meme accounts are more like boring bitcoin and nostr infographics

(I realise I also just posted a nostr -infographic 'meme' I made lol, the irony isn't lost on me lolol)
MAKE NOSTR HARDER
(Pause)
I like the "I made" part of that tho
Original bad content for the feed ;)
Harder? How many ways do we need to send DMs? 🤣
It's what I'm here to consume and create as well 🤣
I've actually forgetten nostr even has DMs
We have like 4 different DM methods 🤣
But I meant more the posting meta;)
See I read that and I think that must be at least 3 broken methods and likely 4 broken
Make a new standard so there 5 🤙
Xkcd
Cringe behaviour
Yes.
Fine we'll make it 6 competing non-interoperable standards 😆
