Oddbean new post about login | logout Hootsuite wouldn't exist if there wasn't a market for this stuff. But all I'm saying is that it doesn't produce the results they hope for. A waste of time. But let people do what they want. 🤷♂️
im kind of guessing they don't care about results as much as we think they do. they're most likely just wanting to get their content out there for people that want it, not really caring about engagement. it's for influencers and their minions. as i said, i don't think it will hurt anything. if this tool would have existed back in december 2022 or february 2023, then sure, i would have 100% agreed, but now i don't think it matters all that much to nostr's core userbase. this is for people that aren't "here" already.
Influencers care more than anyone about their engagement and reach, and simple cross posting the same content on every multiple social networks increases neither. To each his own, but it's just not a useful strategy. On nostr they are up against the human algo, which detects BS pretty quickly. Cross posting on traditional social media hurts your reach and engagement within their algos, and in some cases can even jeopardize their ability to monetize their content on those platforms. This is not simply me not liking cross posted content. It is a strategy anyone serious about their content, audience, and reach should avoid.
Remember this? Customizable WoT filters COULD include ones that block posts from (or downgrade trust scores for followers who use) known cross posting tools. nostr:note1aej3d6n9twm7y8vgvq8dq5aahhy0wkc900xpdh8n8a7rsxm0msdspyrf85
