That said I like to be “paid” to post. I’m not a Nostr celebrity like you Karnage and 248 others (npub1r0r…q9ac) but it’s still rewarding even though the amount is well, a couple of pennies.
Looking at sites like Twitter or Reddit, any interactions you make profits them. Page views = more ads. If you pay to reward someone on Reddit, Reddit gets the money and the recipient gets a new icon for their profile! (Eek).
On Nostr or Stacker News at least the money is distributed to other users. I’d rather have a million users be a tiny bit richer than have a million users enrich a single CEO.
I know it’s not quite the same issue you are asking about but I’d be curious to see how decentralization impacts how people view giving away sats.
