IF YOUR CONTENT PROVIDES UNIQUE VALUE THEN YOU ARE THE PRODUCT OF THE CENTRALIZED PLATFORMS YOU POST ON. YOU PERPETUATE AND REINFORCE THEIR PREDATORY BUSINESS MODELS. IF YOU MAKE THAT CONTENT EXCLUSIVE TO NOSTR YOU ARE A TANGIBLE PART OF THE SOLUTION.

This is 💯 true Centralized social media makes billions advertising around your content. You're the product in more ways than one #grownostr #plebchain
Doubtful. Too many devs havent even peeked in to see what nostr is, but theyve had their twitter accounts for a while. @Bitcoin Optech is doing pretty good at showing nostr some love though. I wonder if some of their more sporadic releases this summer also have anything to do with observing and comparing engagement between twitter and nostr. I know they gave a reason for it on a previous spaces but 🤷‍♂️ @schmidty @David A. Harding what are your thoughts on this?
Agreed that’s why I’m here. I will be spending my time on content here.

I find myself preaching to people about #nostr as much as I do #bitcoin.
Im looking to make content in spanish non related to bitcoin, the problem is there are not enough eyes here, whats your solution?
Been posting, sharing, and selling almost exclusively on bitcoin first websites and I can assure you that will most definitely hurt sales, engagement, and “impressions” whatever that mean. YouTube doesn’t know my video projects exist, Amazon doesn’t know my books exists. Would be cool if bitcoiners actually tried to look for alternative places to get their content. Turns out most will settle for the usual convenient places.
after all other vices had been slain, his only remaining addiction was the insatiable need for more content
YouTube, being centralized, doesn't count, but combining Nostr as my marketing for my YT... I wonder if that works.
My guess here is most people still need a sustainable inflow of fiat currencies to survive and make due payments. And to get fiat inflow, the optimization has to be around "sales, engagement, impressions" etc. like you said. Until things are really priced in sats and/or truly deflationary, this constraint will likely still persist. Keep creating value in the meantime.
Every now and then I try to encourage blue checks that imo post valuable things to at least also have a presence on nostr but seem be ignored. I now have a new strategy, I will paste their content on my account (mentioning them of course).
Yeah but few people see it on here. I want to onboard people as well as challenge and inspire the “converted”. That means youtube and TikTok
True. Nostr is the best if you get it. Hopefully it will be like bitcoin (people seem to just be getting it now) and people will realise. We are some way off creating the business models and monetisation equivilents here on nostr (or possibly retraining people to accept other business models). Either way I'm not aware of any nostr millionaires yet (generated from nostr only). Maybe tho. Maybe those zaps for memes posted will be worth something one day!

Carlos, do you mean the timing of the newsletter publishing? The publication timing was mostly adjusted for the benefit of the Optech contributors.
Yea, i was wondering if along with the timing you were also publishing to nostr, twitter or rss in different orders. I hope the team has had a great summer! The other question from gary was "Will Optech ever go nostr only?" Nostr has nostrnests.com which is a replacement to twitter spaces. Or are there any other plans to ditch twitter?

Fwiw, I followed @ODELL, @DETERMINISTIC OPTIMISM 🌞, and @Lyn Alden here from twitter. So to follow their example, you would develop an audience by posting some good content on twitter and point readers to your better/different stuff on nostr, then maybe drop twitter altogether at some point.
We end too many of these stories with statements of head hanging resignation. Time for moving up, when Bitcoiners start thinking outside of lazy ass mob follower currents. We create the world we live in.
Nostr Bitcointv.com Flare.pub Zap.stream Piratehash.com The experiment is to see how much success I can get on a product or app without ever touching YouTube, Amazon, Twitch, and now twitter
My end statement in no way impacts my actions moving forward. Just a statement of fact or an observation. Will keep working on what I’m working. If views or engagement mattered I would have stopped a long time ago.
Oh bro. Don’t misunderstand. Love what you’re doing. I was just realizing at that moment we all do that a lot. Feels… I dunno. Wrong somehow🤷 Carry on. 💪
