What's phase 2?
I'm not criticizing nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m nostr:npub1qny3tkh0acurzla8x3zy4nhrjz5zd8l9sy9jys09umwng00manysew95gx and nostr:npub1dergggklka99wwrs92yz8wdjs952h2ux2ha2ed598ngwu9w7a6fsh9xzpc because I showed up a day late and a dollar short. There wouldn't be much for me to show up to and complain about, if they hadn't been here before me, shelling out money and putting in the effort.
I'm just saying, IT'S TIME TO START PHASE 2.
That's all I'm saying.

Phase 2 is we ween users off the corporatist giga-donor/advertising model of everything being completely free to every user.
Even people receiving grants need to start having some income stream, especially on clients, media servers, and relays.
Even if they don't "need" the money, it normalizes the idea of paying for stuff and prevents "he charges money" from being a differentation between competitors.
Sounds good to me.
