6.6bn in revenue to act as the middle man between creators and their audience.
I have no idea how nostr will become profitable for devs and creators but what I do know is that only fans, with 6.6bn/yr in revenue, represents only a fraction of the wealth that is available.
Unsurprisingly, sex sells, especially when it comes with a splash of pseudo-personal connection. Prostitutes figured this out a looooong time ago. A few people may make some money using paywalls, but paywalls still don’t work in the big picture when it comes to digital content unless someone is popular and well known. This is even true with that OnlyFans report, as they found that among millions of users the AVERAGE only made $1300 per year. That means most made far less than than while only a few made anything significant amount. Not really as good an argument as you think it is.
