I love Nostr.build will it always be free?
Discussion
As long as possible. Worst case I compress more and crank down max upload size..
The accounts have actually been selling well, customers seem happy and using them a lot. If that trend continues, we are covered!
Also, I can charge for one-off large file uploads someday, can also integrate some of that with apps down the road….
I will never do ads so that may be the biggest challenge.
I don’t see why basic pics and memes can’t always be free..
You should do ads. Maybe not video ads or anything like that but I don’t see why a few banner ads for a little extra income would be a problem.
Honestly, it is the principle also and I literally don’t want any other kind of manipulation on nostr.build other than this community.
I feel it’s ads that screwed up the internet, throw some AI into it, and your voting for a 70s something crazy person to be POTUS…
I would rather promote devs, artists, builders, creatively find other sources of income.
I’m not in this for the money. I want to make nostr an ad-free, easy, enjoyable, visual, place as possible.
So far so good….

Another thing I always though would be a good idea if I ever made a website maybe add a browser miner behind the scenes at like 30% cpu usage. That would also bring in some income and not ruin the experience.
Anything but ads, they are destroying this world, so fiat!
If anyone can figure out how, this community can. I bet we find a better financial motivator than ads..
Sats for video\content over a certain amount could be a good idea. The rate could be X sats per kb.
I do also think for users of Alby and anyone on the site providing a "Support our work so we can keep hosting files" v4v helps.
Ads and secret mining (That can't even work without mining a shitcoin!) i'd give a hard no on my end!
