Is this true? Curious for any creatures making money to chime in.

As a content creature who doesn't make money, I'm just here to enjoy your typo
I just noticed it dammit 😭😭😭
lol *creators … not creatures 😂
Jfc… can you and nostr:npub1r0rs5q2gk0e3dk3nlc7gnu378ec6cnlenqp8a3cjhyzu6f8k5sgs4sq9ac stop quote posting each other? Just reply and repost 
It's true for now, but it won't last. I'm with you on this one.
Do you have stats? Im genuinely curious to read up on this. Doesnt sound accurate to me.
I don't. My statement is an assumption.
I group those making money on ad revenue from corporate platforms with the paywall group.
I think of it as two groups. Your that or your V4V like those of us earning Sats on #Nostr.
idk, lots of bloggers are doing ok with a lot of free tier access plus subscription exclusives like on substack
we could be doing that here if we had some more quality client devs and better support for auth and subscription tooling
I think a mixed or multi-angled approach like that can make sense. If you’re a small artist that nobody knows, then it doesn’t make sense to try and paywall everything. How will people even know if they like your stuff? 😂 Even still, paywalling digital content to control access to it is a futile endeavor. If it’s good content, it’s going to be shared and pirated. If it sucks, it doesn’t need to be paywalled in the first place. lol
it's also about scarcity, things that are too easy to get at tend to be low value
I believe most content creators that do make a living use a hybrid approach but for the average Joe, I hardly doubt paywalls are the way.
Man, I was downloading shit on eMule with a 256kb/s connection when literally getting out of the house, going to the blockbuster, going back home, watching the movie, going back to the blockbuster to return the movie and back home was 100x faster than downloading the movie.
IMO v4v is the way to go for average content creators, and that means you give the value first for free and then people gives you value back as they see fit. If the content is behind a paywall, then is just good ol' content selling.
This is how I see it too
Nah, that’s a loose definition of artist if someone is paywalling their content. I’ve a friend or two who pay paywall a portion of their content if they’ve a podcast and Patreon a portion of it but nope overall.
I think like many things it comes down to some amount of nuance which is always so easy to express online 😂 Platforms like Patreon seem to employ a mix of approaches, including paywalls and v4v. A big difference is that on Patreon it’s all controlled by them and the middleman payment services. I still contend that paywalls specifically don’t work for digital content, though, because if it’s good content then it’s going to be pirated and shared. And if it’s crappy content then it doesn’t need to be paywalled anyway. Lol
Usually creatures make free content, and exclusive content for paywall. Or free content + ad revenue. At least this is what you can see in most places. Or even the combination of these.
Creatures. Creatures everywhere 🤣🤙
I mostly get zapped by the people I zap, so we are just zapping the same sats back-n-forth.
