Some thoughts on @Jeff Booth's approach to socials.
I saw one of his X posts yesterday. It had hundreds of likes amd reposts. But he didn't even write it.
The tweet was a soundbite composed and published by his custom AI. It's designed to engage the 300k humans of X that follow him while he spends time on Nostr (where he wants to invest energy).
Part of me thinks this is smart. It's a win-win. X gets retweetable soundbites true to Jeff's vision, and Nostr gets pure Booth energy!
I can't help thinking that this only works for those who have already built a big position (300k followers) amd want to syphon the value into the new digital economy. It's like Saylor's strategy to transfer fiat's energy into bitcoin.
This act also fortells how legacy socials will die. Bots will post, and eventually, only bots will read.
But humans will always need a place to congregate, a place to spend their energy.
We will do it in the places that offer real value, i.e. networks which aren't owned by tech billionaires and Mag7 corporations.
Everyone on Nostr is moving to #nostronly, even if they don't know it yet.
