I pay to have others see my words.
I pay to keep a territory that was dead alive.
Thus, I pay to have the right to claim money for other people's words underneath mine.

SN makes a place for territories to exist. Territories pay SN.

Territories make a place for posts to exist. Posts pay territories.

Posts make a place for comments to exist. Comments pay posts.

It sounds circular until people find out they always paying, never earning, and then they move on to nostr.

Most Nostr clients are a whole different beast than SN. SN is a discussion forum! Is there anything like that on Nostr?

I try to keep a tab on them:

A forum is mostly thought of as a visual format though. I prefer the abstract framing of a commons and the nostr analogy for that is the global feed. So, nearly all nostr clients have that.

I really dig your commons abstraction.

That's the whole point of SN and it's not a coincidence. I've been interested in this category of problems for a long time: https://keyankousha.com/the-best-chore-chart-in-the-world.html

While I'm feeling myself, what we're trying to do with SN:

  1. scale a digital commons using money and simple rules
  2. if (1) is not retarded, make it autonomous

it was just an example - a poor one and you're right. But what I mean is that the willingness for people to be the paying party, especially when you shift it down, can become painful if there is any alternative that may provide similar perceived benefits, without the cost.

As with any entrepreneurial venture, you have to make what you’re offering worth paying for.

Very good point. I'll test it for a week.
