I don’t think even paid subscriptions are going to cover the costs of development on Damus.

We may get half of a percent of users to pay monthly, but then you have to consider all of the clients trying to stay afloat, file hosting services and relays.

Unless the network scales significantly I don’t see how subscriptions would be viable.

What am I overlooking?

So, are you saying that Damus will inevitably fall?

Ah, I see. I still have to read more about Nostr when I get the time. I only joined this community about 24 hours ago.

ssb still works 10 years later and don’t think anyone’s made a dime. If we believe this is a better solution and it truly is it will scale to support itself and possibly beyond anyone’s wildest imaginations… although rarely the earliest players are the big winners.
