Agree. Spamming links is poor form. Hands up I am guilty of posting links to articles I found either relevant or interesting. What I had noticed is these links are usually my lowest engagement generating posts. I may find them interesting but clearly others don't. As a user further down states there's a lot of people taking "the Nostr approach" could also be referred to as the "r/cc" approach. Where you throw enough shit at the walls and see how much of it sticks. I'm unsure I fully back the notion of making it more expensive to post as the solution to this problem. So far my understanding of how SN works is that the community decide what they want to see by zapping that content. Content with zero zaps should be telling the writer, they're wasting their time flogging that horse.

I do wonder if perhaps we have a bot problem? Bots crossposting? Could explain why they don't respond to any engagement as their only job is scour "crypto new site" copy link, paste link. Move on. Is there a way we can test for/identify bot accounts?
