From an old fat ass musician songwriter. You want a crowd a crowd feeds off a crowd. It's called excitement. First off Nostr will most likely never be mainstream. It's too privacy oriented therefore, when an artist stays niche they should expect a niche crowd. The music business has always been about business. Sadly it should be treated as such. Which most artists are not business oriented. They need help. You don't become the rolling stones on your own. V4v is a great idea for music but change is mostly a decade plus at best. Most of the folks on v4v music won't last a d case only for monetary purposes. But again until Nostr becomes simple and mainstream they will never find a crowd. If they are good they need tiktok, insta, and youtube to get popular enough to go out and tour. It's a numbers game. Sorry not sorry
