 I’m building just not a non profit 

I have no interest

▲ ▼

 What you mean you have no interest? You’re building a for profit? There must be an interest somewhere.

▲ ▼

 from one shitposter to another 

sometimes we need to get serious about serious topics

▲ ▼

 I think that’s what’s been happening on nostr. It is good to see people address the elephant in the room and the noise helped. We need to see how it all reacts to it.

▲ ▼

 I hope everyone can take a step back and analyze the situation with no biases n come to rational conclusions, it’s always fun to go against the grain but in this situation the elephant in the room does far more good per capita then the one pointing a finger with no skin in the game. Hope that made sense.

 If there are concerns about conflict of interest, they need to be addressed. 
If there are concerns about data mining they need to be addressed. 

I don’t know why people lie, but in some cases I’m 100% sure they did, right to my face. This is enough to add to the concerns. 

It’s funny what you discover when you follow the money, look at the past, look into entourages… 

I’m sensitive to dissonances. There are too many of them in this space. Fact. Contradictory statements = mistrust

 Don’t you love how you have a choice ? 

Choice to participate, choice to not participate, choice to do it yourself, etc. 

I’m not into conspiracy theories, never been. 

all I’m saying is do better if you want better, some are doing what they can with what they have, others don’t do shit but point fingers. Simple.

 You should start spreading conspiracy theories about #bitcoin

Like, tell everyone that high electricity usage is to power alien ships that anally probe memecoin enjoyers.

 It’s not one pleb sharing concerns. It’s many. I don’t understand how pointing the finger at one of them helps. We’re talking about plebs that had an insane amount of love for nostr and are slowly (or quickly) losing it. Some of these plebs have actively funded nostr projects for months, directly.

▲ ▼

 well it was for all, but somehow you all knew that the shoe fit best on one of them.. n you weren’t wrong lol 

also i love how plebs find nostr projects directly, does it help ? Fuck yeah, but is it sustainable? Fuck no, we all know this. 

every subscription models aren’t sustainable, grants are the way n if they need to be fixed then fix em ? I’m sure there’s a ton of capable individuals here that can put their heads together n make something happen.

 This note made it clear you were talking to one person nostr:note1gheqeh4fljdnj73uux9a8eyrmncw9putjyesd5lh60jdlg2vxdsshv8s7s

🤷‍♂️

So the sustainable model is grants? 🤣🤣🤣 

This one is really funny

▲ ▼

 works better than direct and subs 

what do you think it is

▲ ▼

 Fuck know, whatever can sustain itself. Probably content centric.

I’m not saying development grants are not needed at seed phase, but to call it sustainable is not right.

▲ ▼

 maybe the model should be a mix of everything

▲ ▼

 Maybe investors should only invest and not mix match investments and donations.

Maybe investors shouldn’t pretend to have genuine conversation about their own products with other influencers who pretend to not know the subject matter for sake of the bit. 

Maybe people who engage in data mining and have made a fortune out of it should stay the fuck away from nostr. 

Maybe they should all stop relying on flying monkeys to do their bidding. They can try to separate themselves from the message, but we know where it comes from.

 What did i miss? Data mining? What are you referencing?
