Nostr Web Client

How do we support small creator accounts?

Talking to a creator, she mentioned that, in her experience over the past 2 months, the average zap amount per user in Nostr is an order of magnitude lower compared with other networks for the same content. So, even if she becomes a big account, it still wouldn't be good for her to stay in Nostr. I have heard similar anecdotes from others.

But what worries me the most is that the expected revenue calculations for creators always assumes a large account. Which not everyone will achieve.

We shouldnt be a network where only large accounts can collect enough revenue to survive.

So, how do we help small creators find a path to a living wave in Nostr?

A suggestion:

Each profile to be able to create a "store" for digital content (texts, drawings, diy projects...). The creator upload the files to the platform and define the price in Sats.

The consumer makes a zap for the specified price and get authorized to download the file.

This can be done with auto responder bots without storing the content itself in relays

I don't understand much of software development and not a big social media user. Infact, #nostr is the only social media that I really interact.

If my suggestion is already possible, might be interesting to make it known to people like me.

Great idea in theory, but how will you deal with piracy? Accept it as a fact of doing business?

Not saying your idea is bad or anything, but this is a reality for digital content creators putting things behind paywalls or stores. Piracy will always exist and will never go away.
