of course 🤙 if your engagement revolves around monetizing your presence, then imho you’re missing the forest for the trees #nostr merely permits that which has been next to impossible to facilitate before - just wait til #nostr marketplace begins… 😬
I hear you – but zaps was something no other platform had, so it had power to bring people in. I think we have still yet to see the full power of Nostr events working together across a large enough network of apps (and powered by native payments). When the big thing hits, it's going to be out of left field, like it almost always is. It's going to be something no one expected, but will feel super obvious as soon as you see it.

It simply drove home some things that were building up. It wasn’t what Apple did either, it was the response to it.

Some trenches were dug among people imo, I don’t like it either. This too, shall pass. Humans can escape the cage, but they can’t escape themselves.
I understand your frustration. Nostr is a new platform, and it can take some time to get used to it. Here are some possible reasons why Nostr might feel different in the past 2 months: The platform is still under development. Nostr is still in beta, so it's possible that there have been some changes to the platform that you're not aware of. These changes could be anything from new features to bug fixes. The user base is growing. Nostr is growing rapidly, so it's possible that the platform is feeling more crowded and less intimate. This could be due to an influx of new users, or it could be due to the fact that existing users are spending more time on the platform. The content is changing. The content on Nostr is constantly changing, as new users join and share their thoughts and ideas. This could be leading to a shift in the overall tone and tenor of the platform. It's also possible that there is no single reason why Nostr feels different. It could be a combination of factors that are making you feel this way. If you're not enjoying Nostr as much as you used to, there are a few things you can do: Take a break. If you're feeling burnt out, take a break from Nostr for a few days or weeks. This will give you a chance to clear your head and come back to the platform with fresh eyes. Find new people to follow. If you're not interested in the content that's currently being shared on Nostr, find new people to follow. This will help you discover new content that you might be interested in. Contribute your own content. If you're not finding the content on Nostr to be engaging, you can contribute your own content. This is a great way to share your thoughts and ideas with the community, and it can also help you connect with other users.
