Not when it’s some thing that people would usually do for free or for fun anyway like didn’t we all should post on Twitter for free?
Discussion
Shit post*
Nothing is free.
For free meaning you didn’t get anything for it other than likes and interactions
I get what you’re saying but I feel like you’re missing or ignoring what I’m saying. Are zaps just a fun toy? Doesn’t everyone on here applaud that Nostr and zaps are going to create a digital circular Bitcoin economy? There are people who write and create art, videos, etc, who absolutely depend on the ability to monetize their work. Doesn’t mean everyone has to support everything. But when something is of value to you, sending that person half a cent worth of sats is pointless and they won’t stay. They’ll go to other platforms where they can monetize their content, even if through ads and sponsorships.
I think we’re still early days and people will be able to monetize better when there’s more users if you’re getting 10 people sending you a few sides it’s not much but if you have 100,000 followers or 1 million those micro transactions add up also there’s nothing stopping you from using other platforms at the same time you could post it here and elsewhere and if you think your product is worth a certain amount then you don’t do it for tips you do it for a set price offer website or whatever or set your own pricing
Yea I agree we’re early and no real argument about the rest of your points. Growth will come, tools and apps will be built, and it will take time. But there are people here now creating real value for other users. We’re privileged to be the first users on the best social network ever. Why not zap a little more when we like something and give people that much more reason to be here?
