V4V is a world apart from the usual tactics of monetizing followers seen elsewhere. It will take time for people to figure out how to navigate this, perhaps subscription models we've never seen before (NIP42 is very underrated)

Another problem is that a lot of clients are xitter clones, some of which that select relays for new users and select which npubs to follow. It's easy to forget that Nostr is not xitter sometimes, especially since most of the big npubs import their content and followers from xitter, along with all the baggage that brings. Experimenting with different client interfaces can help with the discoverability problem that Nostr is facing now
