Yeah. Most people view v4v as get first pay later.
Which is a horrible model.
Maybe I mean "bitcoin fueled micropayments" then? I didn't realize there was a formalized ruberick around v4v, because it does usually turn out as nostr:npub12262qa4uhw7u8gdwlgmntqtv7aye8vdcmvszkqwgs0zchel6mz7s6cgrkj alludes.

but that is the model, you can pay as little or as much as you want when you want. You also have to ask people to support you.
V4V started in the podcasting space so that's where I have the most experience with it. For those that fully embrace it they are putting out 1-3 hour podcast without ads or sponsors and asking listeners to give back how they see fit. This model doesn't work for everything or everyone, but you gain complete freedom and you can't put a price on that.
My only thought is that it is exhausting, and can end up being a distraction (think of hosting a never-ending telethon), having to constantly ask for financial support for something that is delivering real value but being given away for free.
I get that, V4V hasn't really been tried outside of content creators (podcasters, musicians, writers etc..) but I would still recommend checking out the value4value.info site and maybe you can pick up some tips and tricks from it.
I only chimed in on the first post because paywalls aren't "V4V" but the community aspect of the SeedSigner project has the V4V spirit if that makes sense.
