 reposting nonsense without your own take on it seems kinda daft to me 
 it makes it seem like you agree with it 
 Personally reposting is useful as it’s useful to read over people’s thoughts. Discussion can then he had on Nostr 
 if you didn't have a thought about something and you repost it, and loads of people follow you, and you have no comment?

how naive are you? 
 adding "taken from X" doesn't make any difference

it's the same as me boosting a post on nostr

i would only do that if i agreed 100% with the content... you see? what other motivation would there be for it? 
 Sharing something interesting i didn’t see is useful, especially on Nostr as I’m not on X. I do get your point. It’s just an opinion by someone that’s directly related to Bitcoin, doesn’t mean we all agree. Good to read others’ thoughts on important topics 
 INTERESTING. I DONT THINK BOOSTING A POST ON NOSTR IS AN ENDORSEMENT EITHER.

OPEN DISCUSSION IS GOOD. AS A LARGE ACCOUNT I FEEL AN OBLIGATION TO BOOST MORE.

FEW PEOPLE I AGREE WITH 100%. 
 Personally I agree here, it guides me to question and think through the topic more. I didn’t think you agreed just that you are thinking it’s a topic worth discussing 
 Well yes i get your point, but I appreciate Matt sharing stuff and i am able to digest and think about it. It’s not the end of the World. I’m sure he has thoughts, sharing just let’s others formulate thoughts too 
 the text of that screed had the same tone as a scammer in a third world country "rush rush, the end is coming, you must buy our widgets or be washed away in the storm" 
 Yeah, it’s not needed to be panicked but the thoughts stimulate further questions 
 no, because of the way it waffled and then tries to paint this urgent necessity it was not anything worth thinking about

a rational presentation of the benefits of CATV is honest, what that was, was fucking bullshit 
 Fair enough, but now I’m thinking about it which is useful 
 my objection was not the spirit of discussion but the spirit of crappy methods of persuasion, and matt engaged also in this dishonesty as well 
 It’s often hard to find deeply formulated posts on topics, it’s more a promotion of an important area of discussion and hope for a thread to open
