GM The allure of status quo socials is very hard to totally ignore as a podcaster Since circa October I’ve been Nostr and RSS only It’s been awesome I’ve hardly been on IG, YT, X etc But given I am already producing the podcasts, it’s something that pops up “why not just post the full episodes on there, and leave it at that?” It’s like an addiction The promise of more attention, eyeballs, potential “growth” But for what? At what cost? For who? A smaller “audience” of far higher quality is arguably of much more value It’s a moment in which one has to get really clear on their “why” What am I building? Where do i see it going? How does it interplay with the wider self-image vision I’ve set? In this case, as I take a moment, I come back to capital allocation, and the desire to avoid miss-allocation Adding your attention, content, and energy to the digital monopoly surveillance capitalist system we’ve grown accustomed to, is long-term fraught with counter-party risk You’re leasing digital real estate with very little security It’s only a matter of time before the centralised dons of digital kick me off So why bother? For some potential audience that don’t hold the same values as me? Niche is better With Nostr and RSS its niche niche niche Maybe too niche, such that “growth” is negligible But I get to keep it Forever Providing the technology survives and I manage my keys properly What a time to be trying something new! Enjoy your week friends 🙏🏻

I often bump into the idea of "building on the shoulders of giants", which in this instance, the problem of private communication, once again I am reminded of how grateful we must be to be building today Great insights from npub1zuuajd7u3sx8xu92yav9jwxpr839cs0kc3q6t56vd5u9q033xmhsk6c2uc Episode now live on RSS and Nostr
