Profit (and more philosophically self-interest) is what pure capitalism (and thus bitcoin) is all about. I’d imagine that a bitcoin standard will reduce clutter because fewer people will be baited into wasting their precious time on apps / phones. Maybe a return to the importance of local news stories and local job postings and local events brings back a renaissance of paper distribution? Maybe the content generated more broadly focuses on restoring trust to brands and asks for a premium to sustain and maintain content that cultivates that trust? Maybe the frequency of consumption goes down and we return to a world where books and reference materials are generated less on demand, short form and more focused on accuracy, resiliency, and take the shape of books and/or volumes. Lots of angles at play but I agree that the celebrity culture “click here gossip”, and everyone is a geopolitical expert in the hours following an event must change. It’s too crowded and everyone’s opinion is not as valuable as valuable as we currently allow/enabke. (Even nostr is flawed here…there is an ease to posting without an explicit cost that puts the burden on the consumer rather than the producer of the content. Prevailing opinion is that the market corrects for this but I think the burden must be shared with the creators otherwise it becomes unwieldy for the consumers to stop all the silly noise embedded with the signal.) @jack
