They are optimizing for attention instead of optimizing for quality.
It isn't that they should change. They are lost, it's over.
I'm pushing for you and my other followers to optimize your consumption for quality. Go out of your way to break the mental habits that cause you to fall into their trap and seek out quality.

Just unfollowed a tough one to let go of. He had some quality stuff, but really just optimizing for attention most of the time. Baby steps
Someone did what I advised them to do?
I've become the influencer I set out to destroy.
Can you elaborate on what that looks like? Do you think I'm optimizing for attention?
On nostr the most obvious example is Bitcoin platitudes and other things that are widely agreed with in the culture. Steak, family, Bitcoin adoption, natural foods, and similar.
The real key is the timing for a big post. So everyone posts about steak for 2 days and just as that is winding down you drop a family post. It is the same shit coming around again but it feels new to people who have 2 brain cells fighting for 3rd place.
Short answer, I follow you.
Buddy what lit the current fire under you?
