Talking to other hosts. Legacy engagement going up (downloads, comments, feedback, etc...) boostagrams and streaming Sats going down. (Many shows)

interesting.
How is your feeling there? Is that model something to push and one that will win?
The zap action here on nostr makes me very positive actually. We have to get the UX and the incentives right maybe?
A lot can be learned there from nostr.
Many things. Ppl have been deeply conditioned to not pay for content. But there is a lot of hope that new ppl will.
I think the UX still way behind. We need major clients to adopt the model or the new clients to be 10x better.
We need to take advantage and hack our way into more network effect since we are more open to things like Nostr.
Content creators need more one-button means of promoting their stuff, their clips, etc...
I know Adam disagrees, but, in a way, podcasting 2.0 is trying to create its own network effects from scratch, which is a tall order for anything, let alone for the pitch “pay for something you can get for free” which will be a small niche for quite a while.
Podcasting 2.0 needs nostr or something like it that will help it with adoption/network effects
Hell, I built a shitty podcasting player using nostr (nostr:nostr:npub1zapstrdhq7rxrw224apgvs5ajlh9y473f2rdd0a9fjcys2u8d7cqzxqhp9 ) and some people still use it because of it’s interoperability and social clients like amethyst and snort become podcasting apps too just from virtue of being nostr clients 🤷♂️
