Nostr Web Client

How do we support small creator accounts?

Talking to a creator, she mentioned that, in her experience over the past 2 months, the average zap amount per user in Nostr is an order of magnitude lower compared with other networks for the same content. So, even if she becomes a big account, it still wouldn't be good for her to stay in Nostr. I have heard similar anecdotes from others.

But what worries me the most is that the expected revenue calculations for creators always assumes a large account. Which not everyone will achieve.

We shouldnt be a network where only large accounts can collect enough revenue to survive.

So, how do we help small creators find a path to a living wave in Nostr?

First off, do not alienate anyone comin in, give them a fair chance. My first impression on here was like, meh. I was a total stranger, hadn't invited big-account peers from the bird app, thinking to test the waters first but it was like the door slammed shut on my face, like wtnf whatdanostrfock? I tried to reach out, again, meh

#nostr can thrive through word of mouth but we want this sm protocol to be a discerning one

thirdly, what's the target market?

what is #nostr offering to certain target markets that are in scarcity in places like the bird app, etc?

fourthly, what's nostr's edge over the reigning youknowwhat?

In any case, it would help to bear in mind, the basic economic principle - the law of supply and demand

oh, this is a long discussion

lemme try to kiss (keep it short and simple)

meta, IG, twitter, tiktok, etc have made such eco principle their platform's mantra

tweeps needed to vent, get popular by posting nuclear drama. and that catapulted the bird app to the level that's being enjoyed by meta, IG, tiktok, et al. platforms thrived on them users' demands ever-so-doggedly
