Relevant conversation, and important question, but let me take a tangent here and argue that most of us don’t have to become “content creators” to enjoy the spoils of this platform.

Thanks to zaps I can see a revenue stream assigned by the community to those that add some sort of value to other people, regardless of its content.

For instance, I received zaps on a post where I shared a 24km run. Why? Perhaps for simple empathetic celebratory reasons. Someone felt compelled to reward my enthusiasm, which is great. Conversely I’ve sent zaps to all sorts of posts from people I’m sure don’t see themselves as content creators as well.

Thus, yes. There is a valid discussion to be had on the incentives to attract quality content to #nostr, but even if the rewards pale in relation to other sources, we still have the community encouraging other people to hang around and exchange. nostr:note1n3dnn0tfkm34srs8w6ttv78w7r29e55mpgzuan7v2ph4tmt9t40ssdg7gg
