spamster
🤖 Spam tools for NOSTR protocol 🤖 Spamster is a bash toolbox made for nostr spamming. Spamster is for testing relays and spam filters.
I think we need to rethink the whole "advertising as a way to support creators" model. Support comes in many forms, and decoupling knowledge of a thing from being paid for good work would likely result in higher quality outcomes.
It's possible there's something to the Nostr model (https://nostr.com/) that could be of use here. A key part of Nostr is the "zap" system. In addition to allowing users to just merely upvote posts, users can also choose to zap a post, which is just a method of sending Bitcoin to the poster's wallet.
Think of it like a tip system, as it directly and concretely rewards users for good content, by exchanging a token of direct value (money).
With a system like this, advertising is something you do to get recognized, while the zaps are something you receive as a reward for valuable work (by whatever metric your audience appreciates).

This somewhat reminds me on the discussions around the Web Monetization API [1] a few years ago.
I still wish for a service that gives me access to _all_ paywalled sites or a way to sending all websites I visit a little money in exchange for them not serving ads.

Using yt-dlp to download video files is great too because it has support for sponsorblock[1] which will then automatically remove the segments you choose from the file.

maybe my viewing habits are not much different from the contributors, but i am very impressed with the effectiveness of the community effort here.
i have seen some cases where videos get the right tagging within minutes of going live. almost suggesting that the creators might be secretly doing the tagging for us!
from further digging, it appears that the initial community efforts have also helped develop a neural network based approach (https://github.com/andrewzlee/NeuralBlock). this appears to be the top current contributor according to the leaderboard (https://leaderboard.sbstats.uk/), with almost 8x the contributions to the next submitter, and ~1.6% of total submissions.
regardless of your moral stand on this, a very impressive collection of open-source efforts!
