I don’t think even paid subscriptions are going to cover the costs of development on Damus.

We may get half of a percent of users to pay monthly, but then you have to consider all of the clients trying to stay afloat, file hosting services and relays.

Unless the network scales significantly I don’t see how subscriptions would be viable.

What am I overlooking?

You are 💯 correct. Now it runs on a goodwill of devs and others, but with time it’ll not sustain itself. Marketplace(nip-15) might be the solution! 🐶🐾🫡

dev - contributions are separate beast from nostr-microblogging-social media operations cost - both depends significant number of users sharing - at least i know relay operations cost per human general user (not bot /biz advertisement) will be come down small reasonable amount either fixed and/or pay-per-use --- still have freebie service for newcomers n beginners -- this not includes premium content/paywall service professional book n newsletter who now use visa/mc/pp for subscriptions
