On Instagram, you are eligible to monetize your account once you reach 10K followers and meet some other eligibility requirements.
On nostr you are eligible as soon as you add a lightning address and start posting.

You also need to be an EXCEPTIONAL shit poaster🎉. I'm kind of "Mediocre", but I'm working on it🙏🏻.
On YouTube it’s 1k subscribers & 4,000 watch hours
It’s crazy because with all of them you put in all these months/years building up your account to even be eligible, and then they still just own you and can deplatform and demonetize you at any moment if they choose.
It is crazy, creators need nostr more than consumers. It’s hard for most to see what nostr could be in the future.
In time, they will come
It's safer that way. Imagine if someone built a huge following, then started spreading dangerous misinformation, disinformation and malinformation. We need guardrails against unchecked ideas.
A great post, but useless here. Here, we are preaching to the choir. I’m gonna post this verbatim on Bluesky and Twatter.
For real. Download Nostr, set a wallet, and announce yourself with #introductions. You are now monetizing.

I hate Facebook 2.0.
They also rug you if you don't claim your funds within 6 months
Makes perfect sense. If you agree to be the product, then you should expect to be used. No use complaining about it.
How it should be
I am absolutely happy with it.
Incredible 10x on the status quo. What’s fascinating is trying to think about how fast Nostr will grow, what it will become, and how to help that happen
Nostr is going to eat all these centralized platforms alive. It might not happen quickly, but it is going to happen
I know a person that has thousands of followers on instagram and gets hundreds of thousands of views on her posts and she hasn't received a single ounce of compensation for it
Thousands of posts and hours for worthless likes, or sending and receiving value as each user determines, no rent seeker taking cuts... The choice is pretty obvious, they just need to see it
How cool is Nostr
yep
In fact, you don't even need to add the lightning address.
Your npub can be used as a taproot address. So you are set up for self-custody and anyone can send you even if you don't want it 😎
no recommendation for recklessness 😄

All roads lead to freedom tech. All the signs are there 🫂🫡🌟
Doesn’t matter, as a Canadian using primal, I can’t do either.
you can put any lightning address you want for receiving zaps, even in primal
