Oddbean new post about login | logout two notes with the same content published at the same time, one has gotten 10x more attention than the other. can you spot the difference? https://blob.satellite.earth/53b3eec9ffaada20b7c27dee4fa7a935adedcc337b9332b619c782b030eb5226
Yes . Broadcasted to more/different relays .
nostr.wine ?
Freerse is working normally https://image.nostr.build/f251ac5031901ececf9d6380bd657c656dd3a2ff92dc96b2e7a7e404ff2b814b.jpg
One went to nostr.wine, which tells me people who pay for relays are more likely to know who you are and engage with your content.
Yes, maybe.. is it: 🍷?
I saw them both at the same time and just randomly chose to engage with the top one.
Eyy all wise Fiatja, are you trying to teach us the recency bias now https://m.primal.net/HmLz.png
No discernable difference from the image. People engaged w/ the first one, then assumed the second was a dual-post, as is common.
Proof that people are more concerned about perceived value than actual value.
The relays published to are different.
psychological reasons
How do we know people simply didn't feel the need to respond to the 2nd note because they already saw / responded to the first? honest question.
You seem like someone who understands what a null hypothesis is
Challenge accepted. This one has "a lot of interactions": https://njump.me/nevent1qqs9cp5kjj23dtgkt75mhyclagy398xyyk0cuyz2w8wfgr3nyn7j0wcpp4mhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mqppamhxue69uhkummnw3ezumt0d5q3jamnwvaz7tms09exzmtfvshxv6tpw34xze3wvdhk6qgkwaehxw309aex2mrp0yhxummnw3ezucnpdejqz9rhwden5te0wfjkccte9ehx7um5wghxyecpzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuurjd9kkzmpwdejhgq3q80cvv07tjdrrgpa0j7j7tmnyl2yr6yr7l8j4s3evf6u64th6gkwsr39ya9 This one, not: https://njump.me/nevent1qqstgx5v40ghekuujwcdc3ruclzuu54jhdllug4axg42fdlp4hh4tugpp4mhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mqppamhxue69uhkummnw3ezumt0d5q3jamnwvaz7tms09exzmtfvshxv6tpw34xze3wvdhk6qg5waehxw309aex2mrp0yhxummnw3ezucn8qyt8wumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnswf5k6ctv9ehx2aqzyqalp33lewf5vdq847t6te0wvnags0gs0mu72kz8938tn24wlfze6zp35a4 The former is visible ALSO on relay.nostr.band, the latter is not. Further: - The former is 7 seconds ahead of the latter. Aside from that, .id, .sig and .created_at are different, as expected. So, the only true difference is: relay.nostr.band. That is actually mindblowing.
You are too late. At this point they both got rebroadcasted into many relays. In the beginning one was just in my pyramid relay and the other in the 3 top most popular relays I found. In 5 minutes one in the top relays had 10 times more interactions than the other. After that the test is skewed by many other factors like rebroadcasting and the fact that Jack reposted it and so on. I've repeated the test in my next note after that though, and the results were the same.
Interesting. This is giving me quite food for thought as to how this could be improved - but it also shows that nostr.band certainly does what it was ment to do (as far as I understand). I wonder what would happen if nostr.band were to go under for whatever reason (spontaneous implosion of the infra or something) - how much of the nostr apps out there would outright break?
One of the random thoughts that popped into my mind during a smoke break - aka. it survived five minutes in my mind - was: What would it do if there were a bunch of relayers deploayed all over the place that just listen on N relays and broadcast each note they see to N-$current relays? Aside from a a crapton of traffic of connecting to some100 relays and constantly broadcasting events, I wonder if this would even "do" anything. o.o
