 it's nice that our existence doesn't depend on an advertising cartel 
 Pepsi just pulled the plug on #zapathon over a 🤡🌎 emoji they deemed hate speech. 
 Yes! 💪👊

You saw the Twitter tear jerker video too, eh? 
 It’s important to point out what specific group of people control the advertising cartel. 

“Advertising cartel” is too broad a statement and leaves an out. 
 Yes. Nostr's existence depends on jack's donation. 🙃 
 it existed just fine before jack 🙂 
 it was objectively better before 
  Nostr only existed before Jack; it was Jack's donation that made Nostr better 🙃 
 beside money jack spends lots of time & effort for this platform… #nostr should be so grateful for having him here… many including myself joined this platform cause of his introduction… so it’s nice to accept the fact & appreciate the ones who put efforts, waking people up to make the world more beautiful!!! 
 😀 
 What are you referring to here? 🧐

Sounds like primal to me but i doubt it’s primal 
 X is suing some WEF advertising cartel because they are trying to blacklist X

 There’s a WORLD federation of advertisers?

Do I need to join if I want to advertise my bring and buy sale? 
 That shocked me as well. Sounds very dystopian 
 Maybe nobody’s heard of them because their advertising campaign didn’t work very well 😂 
 What a commitment to free enterprise and free speech, using courts to force people to support you.  True Hero that Elon. 
 Did you solve the problem with funding? I see many asked about donations and stuff. But I mean, will it have to include commericals at some point? I hope not!
But hopefully Bitcoiners have the ekstra cash to donate.  
 Maybe (not if but) AS Nostr becomes more attractive to sponsors, we can develop a better means for spreading brand recognition (word of mouth style) between trusted friends. 
 What is damus' main running cost? Relays? 
 nostr exists just fine without damus, so it's not really relevant to the point. but its not relays, its paying employees.
