That isn't a marketable angle.
There's actually no significant market for people who want intellectual freedom. There never has been. That's a very niche desire because most people rarely say anything that anyone might censor them for and they only want to read pre-approved stuff. And a lot of the exceptions who want that are commies and then you're stuck being their unloved, unpaid IT serf forever.
Besides, most people don't even use social media.
IMO, social media was the warm up phase for Nostr and relays are about to step up in significance, with the OtherStuff.
I think the OtherStuff, in fact, will finally give value to the social media part, as users will want to just stick to the same protocol to chat and shitpost.
I know that. I'm not in it for the money. I guess that was my point.
Nobody is in it for the money, so long as the work is 30 minutes in the evening and 3 hours on weekends.
We're easily pushing an average of 20 hours per week per dev, for the largest Nostr team, and we haven't even released, yet, or secured a big customer.
You bet we want to make some money.
Not just here for the lulz. I pay rent.
Yes, you are in a different position than I am. This is very much a hobby for me since I already have a good paying job.
Yeah, I gave up my good paying job to do this.
Impossible to build what we want to build without major hours.
