Oh, I totally agree. Substack is great, and I love the platform for sharing ideas and connecting with an audience. But having a system like Nostr, where you can directly give and receive value, would be a game changer for artists.
Likes and reshares are nice, sure, but the ability to transact immediate value - real, tangible support - elevates the relationship between creators and their audience. Substack needs to get with it because this kind of functionality is the future.
