I doubt podcasters sponsored by nostr:nprofile1qqs9500z3l7sn46sdnls5fnjm0d3lqmrq7707qshes2y7j8pnm4rllcfc0kcc or nostr:nprofile1qyt8wumn8ghj7etyv4hzumn0wd68ytnvv9hxgtcpz9mhxue69uhkummnw3ezuamfdejj7qpq88x98j0r7l2fszeph6j7hj99h8xl07n989pskk5zd69d2fcksetqtrfcre or whoever understands that today good content needs to be supported (even if doesn't bring measurable marketing results), compromise their souls on being sponsored. Isn't it also #value4value, but more b2c-like?

I know you don't have an answer and focused here on the critique (frustration soaks through lines), perhaps noone has... and each of content creators, distributors, consumers chooses their way of monetization and reaching out.

I don't think anyone claims that #value4value can totally replace other models, or that will largely kill ads, sponsored content, clickbaits. But it's nice that there is one more method of distribution / monetization / relationship consumer - creator. Years ago you had to go through some licensed institution to make reach and money.

We had short discussion about it with nostr:nprofile1qyt8wumn8ghj76r99eex2mrp09skymr99ehhyecpzemhxue69uhkjmnzdauzumn0wd68ytnhd9hx2qpqmrmu3s5889zcaqcqwxejx8gtkp9rwna7fq0vqezk4x22rnpr2gms0sctx3 recently, who through hard work, dedication and lots of content can make a living out of podcast. I'm sure backdoor deals, increased network, brand, recognition (which brings other fruits later) conference tickets and hardware freebies play a role there, and it's great.
