Exactly, and thats why you should follow me and also in YouTube :) 🙃

Completely nails the state of the internet

Love some of the vids on this guys channel.

The solution is not "Nostr + Bitcoin." The solution is stop making it so everybody has to grind for less and less in order to survive. Nobody -- no musician, no podcaster, no writer, no YouTuber, etc... would have to ask for your subscription to their content or course or otherwise run you down with ads if it were not one of their very limited means of escaping the hell hole that is the rest of the workforce. How about everybody stop wanting things from other people while having tiniest ounce of willingness to reciprocate with something of value. No, not your "words," not your "vibes," not your "experience" -- you're just not that interesting or fun to be around. Pay adequately for products the first time around and run your businesses so they aren't glorified sweatshops. Subscriptions are basically credit lines, because they know the average person bawks at a fair price and likes to steal value by claiming that what they consume has no value while consuming it. "Sit back" and wait for the moon is not a solution.
