The incentives aren’t broken, and it makes the protocol actually usable. 

Users, developers, clients, all of us - we aren’t incentivized (by ads, engagement, revenue) to post or amplify the trash content that makes people angry and scared and divided on every social media platform.

The incentives on nostr are zaps and bloom-vibes for posting quality content. It’s pretty simple.

And all of this social content gives nostr the momentum to bootstrap the Other Stuff, so it’s the case that 1) the present experience is dramatically better than any alternative, and 2) the future is extremely bright, fascinating, wide-open, and full of potential.
