Nostr Web Client

Well, just lost everyone I recruited to Nostr. Some were friends, some were strangers I met in public. The reason they all gave was very similar. They mentioned about how 100% of zaps and support goto Devs. There is 0% support for creators. I've seen creators write long articles and get zilch for zaps. But when a dev mentions he had a good poop for the day, thousands if millions of zaps are hitting that note. I feel slowly over time it's going to be the fail point of Nostr. Worst thing , some of the people praising and begging to zap devs, have the same IP address of some devs. You can built a platform. But after that it's just a blank canvas without any paint. The paint is the creators. Some of my favorite creators post here anymore. And I feel it's because of the same reasons of everyone I recruited who quit. I've seen people giving millions of sats away in contest and just for fun. Same thing. No one cares.

So with this Rant , I urge all of you. Go zap your favorite content creator. Before this turns into a ghost town with echoes of good morning and pv.

What is the content we are talking about? Notes? Image links imbedded in notes hosted elsewhere? Blogs on habla? If the relays aren’t sustainable yet everyone else can chill out IMO. Content creators? How about the service providers providing the relays the content creators are using?

Being a content creator as a job means building an audience with your content and then monetizing your audience with additional benefits to your audience or tangible products for your audience.

Just observe the successful ones and see what they are doing. None of them are attempting to buy their bread shaking a can for zaps only. They are using their audience that they curate a relationship with, as a pipeline of selling something else of value.

At this point the tech and network is speculative and early. Everyone participating with an economic angle has a first mover advantage. Sometimes being on the bleeding edge means you bleed.

Your missing the point.

1.) I am not here for zaps, I do quite well financially, and have given over a million zaps away on here.

2.) I am merely stating people who use social media as a side hustle have mentioned they see way more devs being zapped then content creators

3.) Backtrack a few months, it wasn't like that, you seen way more creators being zapped, which is why we gained new members of nostr because content creators seen incentive.

4.) My main point was to go zap your favorite content creator on here. Sorry if that wasn't clear.
