 Traditional and legacy advertising needs to evolve. Nostr fixes all of this, bringing innovation back to social media. Our attention is not for sale.

 Bitcoin fixes the lobbyist / regulatory culture of spending and backdoor favors. That’s the target Twitter is really going after - GARM.

IMO, NOSTR doesn’t fix that problem…one could argue that GARM is why Facebook/Instagram/LinkedIn are as powerful as they are … they control advertising content and reach. 
 Advertising is a profitable business. It's made these companies incredibly powerful by weaponizing our data and attention. We're tearing down that model too. 
 See, that’s where I tend to differ with some bitcoiners. This might not land on what you’re saying but I’ll still share…

I think a lot of “profitable” media businesses on a fiat standard won’t be profitable on a bitcoin standard. Consumption won’t be as valuable. The media model developed for digital economy & streaming will implode under the weight of sound money.

Effectively with a much higher discount rate (I.e. price of money), future consumption won’t be as valuable AT ALL as it is today. The concept of brand value will change dramatically from what it has been since the 70s. The focus will be how much is someone willing to pay UP FRONT for quality. 
 We need to align the incentives of relays with those of the consumers or we’ll have the same predatory models evolve here too.

Consumers are accustomed to getting “free” services. The relays who can cater to that habit by monetizing their consumption without charging them directly will have an economic advantage. We can fix this, and I’m optimistic, but not sure how to do it. 
 I stopped listening after I learned she worked for X. 
 The TLDR is essentially that they're crying that their advertisers decided to boycott them. So they're going to sue them to make them continue to do business with them 🤣 
 I felt like I was being talked at - that’s why I stopped the video. I still have Twitter, but have pretty much stopped posting. Nostr now has the feel that Twitter had over a decade ago. I hope bad things don’t catch up to it. 
 She pointed at me. 👀 
 Correct! 
 There is some serious uncanny valley happening here.
