Whichever one Band and Primal are using (Freerse uses Primal, I think). They get very similar results, so the logic is probably similar.

Strange coincidence that we independently created algos returning same stuff.

A lot of this is probably down to the idea that nostr is a replacement of twitter, but what is really meant by that is specifically bitcointwitter, imo. Primal sidebar feels like an exercise in appealing to those who miss bitcointwitter content lol. I think there's growing demand for other stuff (non-bitcoin content). I think a lot nostr makes sense through this lens. Nostr is successful at replacing bitcointwitter. So yeah it's an adoption issue too, and the unofficial algos and meta incentives (zap nudge unit) reinforce this. I'm agreeing with everyone lol

😂

I mean it's all fine and mostly none of my business lol. I'm a non-dev user lolol. Primal can do whatever it likes obvs, but it's often recommended to noobs, and they will see that sidebar and probably not join, unless they're coming from bitcointwitter, in which case they may join. Or they may just think nah, I prefer bitcointwitter. And tbf to the bitcointwitter people, they also complain about nostr not being varied enough lol.

And you can counter with Trending / What's Hot / Recommended Users on any platform is always shit. Which is true. But most platforms don't have a majorly off-putting, bitcoin tourettes (feedbacklooped with incentived zapfarming), problem:)

How?

I’m bored enough to scroll hard enough to find this, so we’re making progress

If it didn't exist, the dulling effect of it wouldn't exist. But it exists and it's tangible. You probably don't notice because you're writing about your area of expertise (which conveniently happens to be Nostr) and receiving lots of feedback because you have a gazillion followers. The avert human responses and the measurement of them being the algo results in an intellectual "flight to safety", where there are a few popular topics and correct opinions and you can hardly break out of that mold, even if there is an audience for it.

Humans are more interesting because they are more chaotic than a bot brain. They have a soul which can tap into higher dimension wisdom. Bot brain will always produce what is within their matrices, although sometimes they produce different thanks to probabilistic nature, they are still confined within their parameters. Give it the same context and low temperature and run it 100 times. Most of the times it will generate similar outputs.

now the test is to see if my feed starts populating with naked women in cardboard boxes 👀

Not intuitive interface. No idea, what I'm looking at.
