Be honest, what do you think is a fair price per view of a video like this?

I think we will never pay fair price on nostr until we have the conversation.

i think i have to hold my hands up and say on this one i'm not a good arbiter of what is fair.

This video was unique in many ways.

I'm so so biased by my experience with creating this and the risk.

This video has actually been checked by lawyers (and i'm told that i still might get sued... fuck);

it will burn relationships with people in the space and might get me crypto-cancelled (lol but seriously but it isn't good for my relationship with cointelegraph, for example), there's a fair bit of skill in what i do to bring this video together as I should really have been thrown out of hte conference for being such a nuisance...

and then there was the cost of animation fees, editing fees, the months and months i spent working on it (i visited the conf in May)...

But i feel it's a necessary piece of work and something i can show to ANYONE who says "yo i'm thinking about this new crypto project, X".

The idea is that anyone can send it to a new crypto entrant to show what's behind the curtain.. and ideally they grok that bitcoin just isn't like that!

All this to say, i reckon a view should have a higher price than usual. So I would say, whatever people think is a fair, high price?

sorry i don't wanna squirm out the question, but high to me might be horribly high to some people and chump change to others.

Maybe, and shut me down if this is personal, but if we reframe the question to "what would this video get per view on Youtube"?

Like is $5 per view a spit in the face?

It is interesting though, your point about the effort that goes into the video vs like a vlog maybe (yet somehow I imagine vlogs could end up making more money on nostr)

I think clients should suggest to people what things are worth, or maybe the author should be able to suggest.

It should still be up to the viewer to pay or choose their own price but it helps the market decide what is fair.

I wouldn't be surprised if a 5 buck zap yielded more 5 buck zaps while a 1 sat zap yields more tiny zaps and people don't consider "how much did I enjoy or appreciate this video", they just think, "oh wow, this was great and others have zapped about X so I'll zap Y."

yeah i have found that if a couple of big hitter zap it then the social fomo kicks in!! i hope yours spurs it on 💪

Joe Nakamoto 11mo ago

no not at all, i was gonna suggest like 3,000 sats!thanks!!

Not gonna lie, there was a period when people were pushing for higher zaps, I set mine to 5,000 1,000 and 500.

After a while, even though I used 500 for small memes and stuff, I was seeing 1 sat and 21 sat zaps back and I ended up adding 21 and 50 to my list.

I also saw my ecash wallet balance going down and dropping a zero and got a little scared. Also the fiat value is rising.

I probably am a higher than average amount zapper but I want this to work in a meaningful way and I take into account that no advertiser is subsidising nostr, and others I share to are not gonna zap because they're not into all of this and they're not invested in seeing bitcoin succeed, they are, if anything focused on the price only.

I also find the idea of removing likes and only supporting zaps hilarious. It feels like memers who just want more zaps and I don't think it meaningfully improves the problem.

Sorry /rant.

Big Baller Barry! I think 21 sats is good for 'like' but then higher amounts are good when you really want to show appreciation. When you think about how much work Joe put in to this its worth more then a fraction of a penny. Its not a meme that someone rustled up, he actually had to tolerate all these shitcoiners.
