The problem is that algorithms "improve" the user experience. Maybe it's just perception, maybe it's unhealthy, but it engaged people's attention whether they like it or not and that's what keeps them there. And most people don't care about the corporation, they don't relate to them directly so it doesn't really matter. And most people are consumers through and through. I never realized this in the past because my sales resistance is level 100 and I'm as far from a consumer as it's possible to be. But interacting with normies, their life really revolves around how to get the money to buy the next thing they saw on social media. Whether it's a blatant ad or a "lifestyle influencer", the stuff that makes me cringe in disgust is like cocaine to them. They buy into every latest marketing trend every single time. If it isn't on their social media, they'll go looking somewhere else until they find it

I disagree with everything you’re saying. First I disagree that Twitter is better than Primal Second I disagree that Primal, Highlighter, and Zapstream are the best nostr has to offer. Nostr relays don’t store videos, so I don’t even have to know what zapstream is to know its big tech. Third even if what you’re saying is true, who cares about pessimism. Nostr devs will keep improving until we win.

He's into BTC believing in first comer advantage. You are obviously into Monero, believing that "better" will prevail in the end.

Reminds me of that line from Terminator 2: "We're not going to make it, are we..."

I agree, groups are another important missing (under construction) piece

Twitter died a long time ago.

What you’re saying is true. But the bigger issue I’m addressing is that I’m trying to have an inclusive culture where we coexist. He’s trying to be exclusive to Bitcoin-only while at the same time bitching about Big Tech’s network effect. My point: If we all got along, then we can win.
