My teenager has spent many hours this summer making #Minecraft videos, and trying to meet the YouTube criteria for monetizing his work.

I'm trying to help my teenager understand the value for value proposition of #Nostr and #BTC using the #LightningNetwork.

Me: "You should learn and educate yourself on the #Nostr protocol instead of trying to meet YouTube's criteria for monetizing your work. #Nostr is where the puck is headed.

Teenager: "No one is going to give you #Sats for creating content".

Please help me prove my teenager wrong. 😁

The grind is real. For YouTube, your teen might be right... for now. However, you can point your teen to what's happening in the streaming space. Sure, viewers use the built-in tools for subscriptions or donations but a lot of viewers use off platform tools like Streamelements, Ko-Fi, or Fourthwall to support creators. In theory, sats can fall into that same category.

On the other hand, it's really hard for regular viewers to buy and zap sats right now. As much as I'd like to agree with you, until it's just as easy for a casual viewer to tip stats as it is to tip dollars, income based on sats will be very limited.

Thank you for your honest feedback. It’s greatly appreciated.

You're welcome and good luck to your teen.
