I’ve been skeptical with V4V, especially with certain types of content. It will be interesting to see how it all plays out.

I’m closely watching V4V as well. Wondering if it can make it against the big money from ads. If content creators are okay living on less, it can succeed.
Pay to Unlock is slightly different than V4V.
Curious to see how both of those models work on Nostr and where they end up intersecting.
Could be that the “free” tier of content is V4V supported with premium sitting behind Pay to Unlock.
I think it greatly depends on the type of content and the reputation of the creator too. A long form article is very different from unlocking access to a SW’s stream on zap.stream. Also, the stream quality of a creator will most likely be consistent vs the quality of an individual’s writing.
