I'm less concerned about what make something go viral but what behavior going viral rewards. What got me thinking about this was the types of content posted to social media, particularly commentary and political content, and what the inherent rewards of the system encourage from creators.
From what I've seen, more extreme views get more engagement. No one cares about "Thing X is bad" but "Thing X is the worst thing ever and kills babies" tends to drive more clicks, likes, etc. which might push the "algorithm" to boost the post. In the end all the storm and fury surrounding one post that gets a zillion views doesn't mean much other than bragging rights. If, on the other hand, the reward is money there is more incentive to use that extremism to try and hit big, rake in the sats, and to keep going extreme to keep the sats flowing.
Maybe I'm overthinking it. (It's been known to happen.) I'm just wondering if one of the things that makes nostr awesome (the ability to reward value with value by zapping sats) doesn't also encourage the toxic behavior that is so prevalent on X, Facebook, etc.

The grind is real. For YouTube, your teen might be right... for now. However, you can point your teen to what's happening in the streaming space. Sure, viewers use the built-in tools for subscriptions or donations but a lot of viewers use off platform tools like Streamelements, Ko-Fi, or Fourthwall to support creators. In theory, sats can fall into that same category.
On the other hand, it's really hard for regular viewers to buy and zap sats right now. As much as I'd like to agree with you, until it's just as easy for a casual viewer to tip stats as it is to tip dollars, income based on sats will be very limited.

Thinking about this more. I think nostr is especially well suited to this. Sites like X or Facebook want to push out everything for ad-related reasons. Nostr is focused on the individual user and their needs.

Social medial platforms like X, Bluesky, and nostr all suffer from the same weakness. They all assume that, if you follow someone, you want to see everything that person says about everything. That's seldom true, even offline. Often a person you go to for one topic is not someone whose opinions you want to see on other topics.
As an example, back when I was watching the NFL, I followed a couple of people on Twitter because I really liked their takes on the NFL. They were diving into statistical analysis in a way I hadn't seen before and they made it fun. That said, I had zero interest in anything they had to say about politics.
Here's another example. I'm really into Minecraft. A number of the developers were on Twitter. I really wanted to see what they were saying about Minecraft but I couldn't care less about their environmental activism or even what they had for dinner.
It would be great to be able to say I want to follow this person but only for this topic or I want to follow that person for everything except this other topic. Maybe I want their takes on nostr and bitcoin but not rugby.
On the sender side, this would require 1) that every time a person posts, they use some sort of topic specifier (like a hashtag) and/or 2) an LLM that picks up on the context and adds the topic that it guesses.
From the receiver side, the easy default is to show everything (which is what most people expect). Then when the sender posts something from a topic the receiver doesn't want to see, they could add that topic to the filter. Then posts that match the filter aren't shown in the main feed. (They should still be visible if the receiver visits the sender's profile.)
I'm not sure how reasonable this would be in practice but I think it would go a long way to allowing a person to curate their feeds to see exactly what they want.

I was an 80s kid. I listened to a lot of everything but what stuck with me was early hip hop. (C+C Music Factory, Marky Mark, etc ) My tastes have moved on to EDM, k-pop, and other high energy dance music but I think it all started with that early hip hop.

It still amazes me how many people think that wanting to keep your own money is greedy but forcing others to give you their money is not

Let's talk about AI - Music Free Static (011)
AI and large language models are a hot topic these days and it generates strong feelings, especially among those who's lively hoods are challenged by it. Like any disruptive technology, or any tool for that matter, LLMs can be used to help or to harm.

I love autocrafting in Create mod. This time I plugged into my wood factory to craft chests and barrels as well as stairs, slabs, doors, trapdoors, fences, and gates.

A thing only has value if other people think it does. It doesn't matter if that thing is a Dollar, bitcoln, gold, or Lego. If no one else thinks it has value, it's worthless.

I love The Mandorlan but I can't take Moff Gideon seriously. He reminds me of a nerd who was bullied as a kid and, now that he has power, he's just as much as a bully. Now he's mad because Bo-katan won't give him the darksaber to complete his Mando/Jedi cosplay.
