and the last 20+ years of social network data has shown that while enthusiast/heavy users of social networks are willing to pay for the service, the vast majority of casual users have zero interest in doing so, and are willing to put up with ads as the compromise.

So if we want nostr to expand beyond enthusiast users into a global social network the size of twitter, hoping casual users will miraculously be open to paying isn’t gonna cut it.

Btw, if you’re going to so quickly resort to lack of social awareness with “nope bad answer” and “stupid idea”, then feel free to ignore my posts and keep the autistic outbursts out the replies.
