I deleted my Twitter account in May 2023. I realized that I had no interest in giving them my data for free, nor did I want to pay $8/month for full access. Doomscrolling was making my life worse, not better.
Now with nostr, I give my data freely because it’s accessible to anyone. I pay way more than $8/month to primal (nprofile…vhrm) and damus (nprofile…vnm5). Zaps alone are at least $20/month 😅. But it’s a different mindset. You choose what you pay for. You pay for apps that you believe in. You pay for the content you want to see more of. I get a lot of value from nostr and I’m happy to give back. #value4value
