Up until now most people have been content working on an economy of worthless likes and views, literally engaging for absolutely zero in return. For people making a living off this kind of engagement, it’s not like they’re cashing out likes either. Their off-ramp to fiat is achieved by advertising partnerships and affiliate marketing.

So, while I agree the off/on ramps need to improve, the current system isn’t easier by comparison imo.

Of course they are cashing out. That’s the whole point, to earn.

Of course people are cashing out, I just mean it’s not like it’s that easy for fiat either.

My main point though is that *most people* are just using social media to interact and have never earned a cent from it, so something like nostr, with this extra thing (zaps/lighting) is just a sweet bonus.
