The way most people define it: not having to directly pay money for it. Semantics, nothing is free, blah blah blah. I understand what you’re saying. 😜 But for most people, it’s “do I have to pay money or not for it?”
Discussion
Yep, they don’t have any idea or care that they are “paying” in other ways.
If we could educate them about how they’re paying, they probably still wouldn’t care.
Lol probably not. As long as the ads aren’t too obtrusive. 😂😂
Even if they are, most people will just say, “I scroll past it. Who cares?”
Most don’t mind using their privacy as a payment too 🐶🐾🤣
Exactly. With the same justification, “Who cares, I’m boring, I don’t do anything wrong, they can find it all anyway if they wanted to.”
🤷♂️
That’s 💯! And in majority of cases that is true too. Most of the data are behavioral statistics that can be used to target people and marketing campaigns. But on grand scale, it makes everyone an easier target, even if you are not partaking in that 🐶🐾🤣😭🫠
“Watch 3 ads to view your zaps” 😂
Watch ads for sats model will also work 🐶🐾🤣👀⚡️👀⚡️👀⚡️👀
Lol it’s true. That was actually how Tweetoshi (the Plebstr team’s old Twitter client) worked. They showed ads in the feed users were paid sats for spending time on the app.
Genius 🐶🐾🤣🤣🤣
why not have ads on the media clips uploaded into Damus
zap split the ad revenue between hosting service and the client that it got uploaded with
Doesn’t solve the problem of client capture by advertisers?
Easy to do but the turnoff is huge for me. I’d pay not to waste time on that crap 🐶🐾🫡
I’d be gone
Yeah, I am with you. Let them have an ad placement in the video, that works better anyway. Even a fucking fake reviews are better than a stupid ad 🐶🐾🫠🫠🫠
Or I guess I’d be paying not to see it. Then I’d be doing a cost benefit analysis of using that client.
people will not pay until there's a reason to pay
people will always rather pay to run away from ads, instead of paying to run towards better features
YouTube Premium and Spotify Premium mostly run on that model
I’m not sure how the reason I am here can co exist with an advertising model.
have it on the free version of the app?
maybe i could allocate a percentage of sats received to them with an upper cap of sats count
We have not seen overt ads on Nostr yet. It will be interesting the reaction when it happens, wherever it happens.
It will.
Let’s try posting ads now! You know, just download it and see what people think 🐶🐾🤣🤣🤣
(Goes to find some ads for download)
nostr.build ads as video clips with referral links
That is actually a great model. If users got even a small cut of what that the ads were paying the client and relays for hosting it would feel better as a user. It would also give a balance to zap with without having to get out a credit card and buy sats with. Most of the payout would get spent in the nostr ecosystem.
True true. No education can help at this point, and that’s fine 🐶🐾🫡
Yes. They have to see/experience the value first before thinking about paying - often the hardest step to achieve.
