It's all great in theory, but their is going to be a sizeable amount of people who will want something for nothing as we have been conditioned to expect that and others have different morals.

Again I'm not disagreeing with your idea.

The way I view piracy is it's at least free publicity/marketing and could in theory work into what your describing above as subscription /donation hybrid thing. You just have to accept it as a cost in business calculations if your creating digital content. If people knew their fav creator was one payment away from homelessness and shutting down their content creation for good they would chip in, even people who pirate if what they made was quality. Such as the life of a starving artist/content creator.

Vitor raised a good point and it's good to brainstorm ideas and try to find solutions, but this is a long standing problem that others have tackled without success, but it's great to have these discussions and is why I keep coming back to Nostr as the posting quality is of the charts
