If I was a normie, and this was my first exposure to Nostr, I'd be like "WTF is this??", and take the rest of the day off to question reality.
I thought about this kinda thing too. Could even do reddit and FB ads aswell.
The problem lies in what people FEEL are and arnt ads.
Online, scrolling lots of things FEEL like ads.
Seeing a billboard when driving by or stopped at a light doesn't FEEL like an ad the same way seeing one as your scrolling reddit or FB does and that's why I've stayed away from them thus far.
Hopefully this explanation makes sense.
Basical I'd like to leave folks online alone for nostr ads. Online ads come across as annoying, easily skipped, and nobody likes them. Unless you have a bunch of money to dial in and pay to play reaching your target audience.
WOULD ALSO HELP IF PEOPLE DIDNT GO NOSTR ONLY, AND USED THE OTHER SOCIALS STRICKLY TO JUST PURPLE PILL AND SHARE NOSTR. 🤷
But all that said... Im currently in the works to get adspace on streaming platforms like Pluto TV etc where they cant be skipped and the free users expect ads. We'll see if it's to expensive or not. Took a bit of convincing, but I'm close to a greenlight. Few more minor things like privacy policies etc etc and yada yada and nostr could be shown in millions of homes.
Wow, I did imagine pluto would be insanely expensive.
Another idea would be more the sponsorship side of things. Finding small farmers markets, community groups, permaculture events, small hackathons
... Etc. Stuff which is already aligned and somewhat present here, and sponsoring them, that way you could have 'sponsored by Nostr' at their events for quite a long period of time maybe. Or similarly, a beekeeper or farmer who sells produce. We buy their banner and in the corner it says 'find me on nostr' or something, so this would be a more long term and more targeted ad, possibly even way cheaper. These users are already here too.
