This article and its source, which mentions the tools social networks use to retain audience attention, reminded me of a simple post I saw on Nostr (which I unfortunately couldn’t find). What it basically said is that Nostr is much better than other social networks because it lets you directly reward content you liked—instead of useless content being rewarded just for attention. Even if something doesn’t deserve a single sat, the algorithm will still deem it useful, mirror it, and push engagement. Giving users the power to directly reward what’s good is the best approach.
