Why do I post so much about zaps and V4V? Because I, like many of you, grew up watching the internet and social media go from being something that was fun, that enabled truly free personal expression, to being full of censorship, dominated by corporate-approved media, completely ruined by advertising, and I really want nostr to continue to be something better than that. It can be. It must be. Otherwise, what’s the point?

I'm old enough to remember the good ol' days when I used HTML and My Space as a dating app. You could be your own advertising. Nostr gives me that nostalgic feeling again.

I find the constant shaming to be super cringe. Love all of your other memes though.
I remember loading up the WWF Divas web page on our family computer, extremely slow on the 56k modem connection. Downloading images of Terri and The Kat mud wrestling with Mae Young and naming the file Mankind so no one would click on it.

Zaps and V4V are like the yacht for sale (https://www.yachttrading.com/) of social freedom – they let us sail past censorship icebergs! 🚢⚡ Your passion reminds me of clients who sell yacht to fund Nostr nodes. Keep fueling the rebellion!"
