Imagine all these brands having to pay you in sats to watch their ads.
Imagine not being forced to watch even if they offered to pay you.
Thats how our attention marketplace works.

+bots&trolls
Let us tell you how NextBlock Fixes This.
The latest infestation of "AI" Bots on nostr reminds us that there will always be someone trying to access your attention without your permission.
What are our options? Ignoring. Muting. Or expecting the relay operator to figure out.
Kinda the same options we had on legacy social right?
With new technology comes new possibilities!
NextBlock's first principle is you own your attention. We don't.
No one should have access to your attention unless you've granted them access. Or they've paid for it (see #attentionmarketplace).
So how do we stop +bots&trolls?
We don't. We just don't show you anything posted unless you've added that person as a contact.
But instead of only relying on your default "follow" list, NextBlock, directs you to add people as contacts. Then we have two additional lists you can add and remove accounts from.
The first new list is called your block and it is limited to 21 accounts. Think of this as a tribute to MySpaces's Top 8.
When you are scrolling your block feed, you only see posts and comments from those 21 accounts. Everything else is suppressed. So in this scenario you would never +bots&trolls.
The second new list is called your neighborhood, and is a core feature of NextBlock.
When you are scrolling your neighborhood feed the same rules of your block apply except your neighborhood size is uncapped.
As you add and remove people from your neighborhood, you are, in a sense, curating your own feed.
But it doesn't stop there, other people can visit your neighborhood and see NextBlock as you see NextBlock. Or you can visit theirs.
Still only people you added to your neighborhood have access to you or your visitors' attention.
We believe this creates a positive incentive for everyone to police their own neighborhoods and remove any accounts that are displaying +bot&troll like behavior.

On NextBlock, she can just turn off ads.
Or she can set a higher price for her attention to stack sats through the holiday season.

A leading member of the #chaosCartel announced they are holding our images and videos hostage.
They're using “popularity” - a metric they created and control - to decide whose content is worthy of being shown in high quality. We are even more beholden to the Cartel than we thought. The resolution of our photos and videos is only unfucked if it makes them money.
Proving once again that this is how the C.H.A.O.S. Cartel sees the world. We work for them. They build incentives like this to keep us churning out more content to feed their attention-harvesting machine. Keeping us addicted and wanting.
#NextBlock has no interest in deciding what “deserves” to be shown in high resolution. We have a better solution for our social media app.
We know that all social media posts are not equal. On NextBlock, your photo and video posts disappear (expire) after 21 days, unless the cost is covered to keep it around.
In a perfect world, posts worth keeping should pay for themselves. #Zaps come from people who like your content.
No zaps? No problem!
NextBlock’s #AttentionMarketplace has you covered. Earn sats from watching ads. Use those sats to fund your own social media activity.
NextBlock’s “Attention Marketplace” is a big 💡 that has the potential to impact multiple dimensions of our digital lives.
We’ve spent almost a year thinking this through. We really like this feature of NextBlock. Still, we wouldn’t be a real couple (shout-out to @nprofile…5wle) if we didn’t have some disagreements. Today's disagreement is...
Who decides if a post lives or dies❓
@nprofile…reu6 wants the “market” to decide. Meaning as long as the cost is covered by anyone by the 21st day, the post should live.
@nprofile…aymf wants the decision to lie solely with the original poster. Meaning only they decide whether the post lives or dies.
Is individual ownership more important than the market wanting to keep something up?
What do you think?
