There is monetary interest, it's just scattered all over like the relays & clients. It's probably going to be found in a bunch of little things rather than one big thing.

Wavlake is great for small artists.

I just make mashups from screen recordings and a beat looper.

I've been paid the equivalent of 5usd in sats over the past week for my work.

I'm not a serious artist I have no following, just a nobody.

There's definitely monetary value to be gained from nostr by real artists
