I like the idea of nostr but I hate social media. Like censorship resistant money and comms are important in my eyes. p2p, decentralized, even better!
But social media sucks. Advertising sucks. I remember a Bill Hicks standup clip where he asks the audience if anyone works in marketing, and then he tells those people to go home and kill themselves.
I’m not sure “fix the money” will fix what bugs me about the world.
From food to entertainment and just about everything else, it’s been studied and engineered to make it addictive. Salted and seasoned and perfectly crisp, or manufactured, edited, directed, it’s all just designed to be as addictive as possible so numbers go up and you come back for more.
I hate the meaninglessness of it all. A whole economy of little real value propped up by addicts.
