I really liked inkblotart daily posting as it got people commenting. He paid out quite a lot of sats over time via the boost zapper, far more then what he was earning. It was an experiment in zapvertising during the early days of economy and absolutely a pioneer moving things forward and providing unique value.

I memba . He got angry about the monero memes . I liked the idea 🎨🧩🪄🃏
yeah but his business model was:
1. pay devs to build shit for him
2. make art, and give it away for free
3. pay people to talk about it
and he got mad cause v4v wasn't giving him a return on investment. like, what part of that business model looks like it could turn a profit?
painter did it right. make the art, often of people's pfp's, video it and photograph it and give those away for free, spend nothing but time and energy on advertising, get zapped on posts, plus 21k sats if you want to physically receive the art, and he takes commissions.
we're all learning what works and what doesn't. I don't think whining is the best long term strategy but we'll see.
