Episode 17 of the Conor Chepenik Podcast features Marks, the host of the No Strings Podcast. The two explore various topics related to the changing landscape of technology and its impact on society.

The episode begins with an introduction followed by a discussion on Nostr versus other social media platforms, highlighting the unique ways in which Nostr changes online incentives. The conversation then shifts to the possibility of Nostr "winning" and its potential impact on taxes.

The next topic of discussion is the idea of companies running relays for their corporate intranets and the importance of distinguishing between quality work and busy work. The two then delve into the concept of bailouts for the fiat Ponzi and how education will change in the future.

The conversation turns to the topic of proof of work online resumes and the potential for enterprise-level relays. They also discuss the importance of paying for good software and the idea of splits, including the ability for clients on Nostr to turn off splits.

The episode also explores potential data retention ideas for Nostr data, including the concept of "data as a software." The hosts then discuss the shifting value of social media from corporations to individuals, and the booming industry of individual media.

The episode highlights the concept of "value for value" and jokes about the idea of a toxic Nostr maximalist, before diving into the importance of transferring value from advertisers and content creators to the audience and content creators directly.

The hosts explore the magical nature of technology and the importance of sound in the digital age. The conversation then turns to the differences between a global feed and curated feeds with algorithms on the Nostr protocol.

The episode concludes with a discussion on the role of free markets in creating a better society. Finally, Chep encourages listeners to support the show through various means, including sending sats, sharing online, and offering suggestions as what listeners would like to see in future episodes.
