This is probably a stupid idea so I apologize in advance. What about writing about how bitcoin is now intersecting with communication and social media? I don't really know enough to even be making a suggestion, so I'm sorry if I'm being annoying, it just popped into my head.
Elaborate? Tell me more :)

was always a case for reputation, no?

Guess reputation/cost goes both ways?

Sure, but in non bitcoin versions of social media (reddit) i had no incentive to care about my reputation or the content of my post. Being completely anonymous doesn't matter at all there, and neither does shit posting. On SN, even though I'm still anonymous, my reputation matters. I'm incentivized to learn more, and put effort into my posts. I can make 500 shit posts on reddit and it's meaningless. Here, it would cost me.

I see, it's closer to real-world scarcity of social reputation/repeat interactions with people

That's what I'm kind of thinking, but I don't brain good, so I figured maybe it would be something you'd find intrest in. You are on the bleeding edge of where bitcoin is meeting online interactions after all. More so that I am anyhow, I'm not on nostr even. I certainly can't shake out whether or not there's any truth to it either, but I bet you could.
Just a thought, like I said, I'm not sure if it's even interesting or worth writing about.
