Oh yo bro one more thing....what's the potential for nostr clients to collect fees for service how and when will we see that in the ecosystem? Isn't relays making money also super important? Obviously a serious client would be running it's own relay. But basically from a collection stand point like ..where is the money ??

Relays are already charging a bit, Snort at least has a supporters badge thing going on. There are a ton of great business models, but I think folks aren't focusing on it much right now because the network isn't big enough — product & growth first, then monetization.
I feel like there’s too much focus on trying to monetise when a lot of basic stuff is broken. Practically nobody makes money running fedi instances, and there are a lot more ppl there compared to nostr.
Not to mention how “zapvertisements” are so off putting. A lot of decisions are being made that are going to drive even more ppl away.
