Monetizing our thoughts instantly without a paywall is absolutely incredible.
I have met some really smart and honest plebs out here trying to do good by sharing their specific knowledge.
We may not have the high volume of users but we have the high quality users.
You've seen my list, you know who they are.
Yes it's very refreshing to be here, it feels real and authentic, very different from the rest of social media 🙂
Agreed.
This is my go to place.
I'm excited to see where we all will be in 5 years.
As the size of the audience and readership grows, V4V has a real shot at working, and that WITHOUT the need for advertising...😃
Right!?
The list is an organic way for us to share those that we admire and follow. Its helpful in Nostrlans when things seem chaotic and disjointed. Nostr kind of resembles real life, you never know what connections you'll make when you step outside. Some you carry with you for a few chapters, others a lifetime, and many are just passbyees, never to be seen again. It's all rather poetic.
though making a low friction paywall with nostr is easy
you could also do subscription based use but throwing someone 100 sats to read their 1000+ word essay with the payment processing in the background after setting budget and automating it... it's just nobody has really done it yet
substack does quite well with subscription model, it is the lowest cognitive burden and implementation complexity... it's not really different to subscribing to a relay, either, that can even be the whole point of the relay, creators pay a small sub to post, and readers pay a bigger sub to read, and the relay operator records impressions and directs the cashflow according to this
someone needs to make a nostr substack, like, seriously, how is it not already existing
I agree. For me Nostr is the best place to hang out in digital space. Awesome people & knowledge here. Learning everyday.
