Agreed were early. But that's why we had the influx of new members earlier on. More support was going to the creators. Which gave incentive, which is needed when some people have been hard stuck on other platforms for years if not a decade
It's probably much too early for creatives who hope to "monetize" their content here. There are 1000x to 10000x fewer people on here than on the mainstream platforms. It's only natural that devs get all the zaps, the creator of nostr:npub18m76awca3y37hkvuneavuw6pjj4525fw90necxmadrvjg0sdy6qsngq955 isn't even getting enough zaps to pay for his free relay

I'm sure it will come with time (and with numbers). For now it's a bit like busking in a small village
