As a content creator it’s really hard to balance the line between catering to an algorithm and creating for the art of creating

perfect example — i spent a couple hours trying different titles, nothing really stuck. wasn’t fully happy with any of them. then i posted it, got feedback, changed it — and the new one is just way better. thanks LynAlden (nprofile…07ln)

this is the difference. on nostr you’re able to post what you think. no second-guessing what’s gonna perform. it’s raw. people like it, hate it, ignore it. that’s it.

on youtube i don’t even get to that point. if i don’t play the game, the content doesn’t get seen at all. the algorithm kills it before people can even decide for themselves

that’s why this place matters

When collaborative content creators are on Nostr, it’s easier to give them feedback. The smaller audience aspect of it here is ironically a feature because I can be more blunt, while sharing it elsewhere.

Tomorrow I’m going to pin this interview to my Twitter/X profile for a month, due to title changes made from Nostr feedback here.

Sure, I could give feedback via email or DM, but if you’ve seen my emails and DMs, and the sheer amount of stuff there, you’d see why I suck on those fronts and am not very responsive aside from close contacts.

I have a couple favorite summaries of my Broken Money content that I point people to if they don’t want to read a 500 page finance book.

-One was a key Princeton talk I gave last year. It set a new video record for the Princeton Economics channel by an order of magnitude. Their top video ever by an order of magnitude. The power of bitcoiners.

-The other is a Broken Money visual explainer video that I commissioned for five figures because, as the Joker would say, “it’s not about the money, it’s about sending a message.” That got even more views at 300k and counting, plus like a million more on Twitter.

-This interview with Max, published today, might be the best new place I’ll point people to for a Broken Money summary. It’s the third one, and among the top. Like, I’m going to send people to it before sending them to the visual explainer I commissioned for five figures. I’m happy to disrupt myself once something better emerges.

Full send. Thanks to Nostr.
