this is an amazing text from @dergigi.

TL;DR: "Not only is our fiat money broken, but the monetization model of the internet is broken too. The advertisement-based platforms of this day and age optimize for engagement via division and polarization, using dark patterns and addiction by design." In order to break free of this scenario, "The idea is simple but sounds radical: you provide your content for free, for everyone, without access restrictions. If people enjoy it, if people get value out of it, you make it easy for people to give value back." This model ("busking") has worked well for a long time outside the digital world, but with the advent of the Bitcoin and the Lightning Network it can work for digital content and information as well.
