I’ve ran v4v experiments with fiat and it was impossible to earn a living. The only time it sort of works is when you are already mega known and have massive reach. Doing v4v in sats only just narrows your earning pool. nostr:note1nwwdry57w06jzfgtdaf6yxmjm37lnszwz6ssujrgmzplurxm285qvu95zv

Early for bitcoin ence why too much early to think about v4v at moment.. I believe this could change and #nostr will have a big part in spreading the v4v concept..
..maybe I am too naive still.
It could work at scale and maybe later, but I really doubt it’ll work at this scale. Happy if I’m proven wrong.
I agree that could work later jn a larger scale, that's why I hope creators that are already on the hard v4v path will be able to resist and be resilient until that time comes.. 🍀
The switch starts slowly. I started 15 years back with 10 iceland stock video shots and I did not make any income. nostr:npub105em547c5m5gdxslr4fp2f29jav54sxml6cpk6gda7xyvxuzmv6s84a642
Now with 20.000 shots from around the world and have seen the world many times its a basis to do more 4v4 stuff. So yes its good to have more income sources.
But it’s all about the small steps every day. You will get hit hard many times 🥊 but always stand up💪 (Martial Arts is the best way to learn this and use it in daily life🙏)
Never give up! Understand that maybe it was not the goal you were going to but it kept you moving to open an other door on the path what you thought was your goal!
Embrace the chaos and enjoy creating ✍️🎥🙏
It’s really not for everyone. There’s significant opportunity cost to wasted time trying to push boulders up hill. It’s ok to try but also try to learn from all who came before you.
Value for value shouldn't be relied on exclusively, but as an extra revenue stream IMO. It's just providing content creators with an easier and more direct way to receive money from fans and not just get shafted by the likes of YouTube and Spotify. That's still a win in my book!
