Nostr Web Client

Well, just lost everyone I recruited to Nostr. Some were friends, some were strangers I met in public. The reason they all gave was very similar. They mentioned about how 100% of zaps and support goto Devs. There is 0% support for creators. I've seen creators write long articles and get zilch for zaps. But when a dev mentions he had a good poop for the day, thousands if millions of zaps are hitting that note. I feel slowly over time it's going to be the fail point of Nostr. Worst thing , some of the people praising and begging to zap devs, have the same IP address of some devs. You can built a platform. But after that it's just a blank canvas without any paint. The paint is the creators. Some of my favorite creators post here anymore. And I feel it's because of the same reasons of everyone I recruited who quit. I've seen people giving millions of sats away in contest and just for fun. Same thing. No one cares.

So with this Rant , I urge all of you. Go zap your favorite content creator. Before this turns into a ghost town with echoes of good morning and pv.

Out of all the things that I could imagine harming Nostr, envy wasn't very high on the list.

My first wild and maybe unsubstantiated guess would be, that creators are used to being the celebrities elsewhere and take it hard, that it doesn't work like that here yet. (sic)

Exactly the disparity you are describing usually applies to other plstforms in reverse. Creators are usually praised for every fart, while devs don't get any attention.

I'd say this is caused by (CMMIIW) Nostr having a user base with an abnormally large share of tech and devs. (for now) I think however. that this will eventually stabilize and as Nostr gets eventually settled by normies, things will become more and more like elsewhere.

Also why is not getting Zaps so frustrating here, but not getting any Zaps elsewhere is not? They likely went through rheir entire career without a single zap until they joined Nostr. Why would that suddenly be a problem?
