Besides ads, all these would fit under the "experimenting" that nostr clients should be doing, that i mention.
Our addiction to ads and its extension, surveilance capitalism, to fund tech, is why we are walking into slavery as a society, if not already there. Its a new invention as important as corporate personhood.
If nostr and its culture relies on ads, it will eventually be captured. We got a head start with lightning, but are lagging behind by both a lack of alarm and implementation of things like fee to send (wherin each message costs sats. Money that goes to relays and devs)
I view the eventual capture of Nostr as the final gasp for freedom tech, libre and opensource. Why? Because the protocol and principal is composed of primitives. How could it be any simpler than a relay system with an agreed upon JSON file structure ? A simpler system would be derivative.
Bitcoin will eventually be captured. We had this small window to be free and it closes with Nostr, the only new real usecase for Bitcoin besides Stacker News, since the pizza. Literally nothing else has been interesting.
The interest in open and libre will die with Stalman and his generation, the next will be tiktok or whatever goldfish tech comes next (state mandated). All the talent will be starved and overwhelmed by the signal of and physical resources of proprietary backdoored hardware and software, and the human being will become a battery, a slow dissipating charge of random user needs and desires feeding data into the advertising-production system actively co-creating reality through planet wide orchestration.
Screecap this and tell me i'm wrong in five years.
