Good blog by nostr:npub1m4ny6hjqzepn4rxknuq94c2gpqzr29ufkkw7ttcxyak7v43n6vvsajc2jl 👍

Nostr needs more content creators in general from bloggers to musicians to streamers. The audience is already here what we need is more diverse content appealing to a broader spectrum of users and their likes / prefernces.

For example, I stream gaming and I totally get it that my content isn't for everyone. It's for gamers and people who like to watch streams, chat and hang out with each other. Now, if someone comes into my stream but my content isn't for that person they'll naturally bounce from my channel and then... don't find much other content to watch so they bounce from the site entirely.

In other words, the discoverability is there, the demand is there, the creators aren't.

Even more important than appealing to new consumers is appealing to new producers. Everyone who occupies some app-space or topic-space or activity-space is showing newer arrivals that These Are Things You Can Do Here.

It's like a live advertisement of the possibilities, and they can then ask the People Already Doing This how to best go about joining in.

So newer streamers and can ask Grinder how to get started and which apps are best and etc. The barrier to information is much lower when speaking to colleagues, than when speaking to the app developer or just shouting into the void. Besides, sometimes the app developers aren't actually heavy users of that particular app. They built it for other people to use and those other people are Power Users and they're actually the usability experts on the app.

I was just thinking about all of this when working on the dev list. I found all of these apps for all sorts of things, but if you go to those apps, they're often basically empty of users. It's difficult to even figure out what the app is supposed to do, sometimes.

that's why we need "nostr for content creators" but, I'm very lazy atm.

I agree 100% but it appears that some content creators don't see the advantage of producing content on a network which does have consumers but lacks creators. At least "trying" nostr should be a no-brainer for anyone serious about their blogging, streaming or music.
