We share the same concerns. The ad-model, any business model where the users aren't paying for their lunch, will lead to enshittification. It's heartbreaking to see how easy it is to make a community turn on (report) each other, how banal / normal the people who thrive on doing that are, "the people who point at witches". Show them a picture of a witch (provided conveniently by your advertiser-partners) and see the toxic fire spread.
I think of these pointer people like our immune systems T-cells, their job is to hook onto "bad guys", show them a picture (vaccine) of one and they make sure you never see a nazi/polio again. So i have sympathy for these people. Though thanks to ad-model businesses, they mostly cause auto-immune responses.
As for how to encourage non-toxicity. Your guess is as good as mine. I think stacker can overtake reddit and hacker.news within a year if they play it right. Users are not the product on this site. This is the way to do it. Just need to lobby apple to allow zaps to people (or solve that through a apple-gated sidechain). It'll explode.
I'm closer to you than I am to the isolationist rhetoric of many bitcoiners.
However, I have a few caveats and addendums:
"Hoarding" does enhance purchasing power for everyone else, so it does make the world a better place.
Saving now (while it's easy) for anticipated expenses is prudent.
Financially secure people make for a more stable society.
I do like the perspective, though. A better money will mean more exchange and more preserved value. Both of those things will mean it's easier to acquire what we need in the future than it is in the present.

This is still all sooo far out. We haven't even bootstrapped robot production by robots on earth yet. Let alone on the moon. Let alone on Mars. Let alone by more than 1 entity such that monetary value even has to change hands there.
Don't wish too hard for something. You might just get it. I tend to worship decentralized everything. SN shows me that a little centralization might not be so bad. Don't get me wrong. I love nostr. I just feel like I get more out of my time here.

Don't use the default. You can adjust the collaborator fees under settings, there is quite a bit of liquidity with very low fees, even zero.

A few more decades. Minimum. 🚀
