You don't need a Primal Pro / Studio license to publish articles on nostr. You can use the free article editor, which is a part of our web app. Simply go to Reads, then click "New Article" in the left sidebar.

Compare that to X, where you have to pay $33/month if you want to post articles. Primal ftw 🚀
Holy smokes that’s a fortune!
I think to drive adoption of Primal Studio the price has to go down. The network is not there yet to justify that price. If people post, once a month using Studio they need to make 70k sats/post just to offset the cost. Very few people are going to pay that cost when they don’t even know if they will like the tool.
I disagree that the regular price needs to go down, although a discounted introductory price for 3 or 6 months might help people experiment more with the features. Most users don’t need Primal Pro or Studio. The free and premium tiers are more than adequate for most users are doing. Pro/Studio are geared toward people wanting professional tools to publish and manage content, such as creators trying to monetize content or brands/businesses that need more capabilities and stats than the lower tiers offer.
No one serious about content creation is publishing one post per month. That’s a ridiculous assumption on your part. At $70 per month, their content would need to generate around $2-$3 per day to break even. That’s perfectly doable even with the current user base.
What actually needs to happen for these types of products and services to be even more viable, even profitable, is for more nostr users to zap more. If you want a free lunch, go back to legacy social media.
Users will zap more when the content is worth more to them.
Users set prices not creators.
Will they though? Or better question, will you? Or will you be cheap and expect everything for free forever, Plenty of good content on Nostr already.
Not sure I’d ever be willing to zap more than a few sats for a note or meme.
I did for a while at the beginning but I don’t use Nostr often enough. Lots of users here aren’t content creators and or don’t have the time to economize how they use Nostr.
Your opinion is irrelevant then.
Appreciate the quick feedback!
Awesome, thanks for the info! I didn’t know you could publish articles with the free version. I’ll go try it out right now 🙌
