It’s not. We have the same mechanics at play. You either tow in line or make apps nobody uses.
I don't believe that. Which app developers are trying to keep their users hooked in an unhealthy manner? I'd bet next to zero of them as they all seem to understand the issues that social media has done to all of us over the years.
Follow count, likes, zaps, notes themselves are all part of the addiction
I would like to see a client take most of these away. That could be their niche. A client without follow counts or likes. Keep Zaps IMO.
I wrote a long form post about what we can do. But ultimately, as long as there are interesting people saying interesting things there nothing more we can do.
So, I need to start posting boring notes? Done 😂
If you know Taylor Swift and can get her to mention nostr, that would help, too 😀
Lemme send her a text.
tell her i said hey
as a simple pleb internet user, I really enjoy2 the scrolling and like count ux, it makes nostr feel like a place I prefer as an alternative to other options I think there is a difference in providing some "addictive" qualities to enhance experience vs using it to drive users for data selling
It’s definitely not. It’s like clean coke no fentanyl
