It was a thought experiment but I think it has wings. Zapped ads wouldn’t disrupt the users feed and the user doesn’t even need to watch / view the ad if they don’t want to. The downside is Nostr Clients would probably start trying to track npubs and create buckets based off who you’ve zapped, liked, followed etc.

Interesting. All the advertising on Nostr thing is just so nascent... At @adnostric we're exploring different formats, pricing, shapes... Certainly interesting area to dive deeper. One thing I believe people might be open to is "sats4following": i'll give you XX sats if you follow me. Plain and simple. Thoughts?
Sats for followers works to an extent. What’s to stop them from unfollowing? Or will you be giving away sats every day? The problem with that is no one wants ads popping up in their feed. If I follow you and you post an ad in my feed I’m probably going to unfollow and block.
yeah, there are certain drawbacks. But no, the idea that you follow someone is not that you're allowed to post spam all day. It's just to get the attention to start the conversation going. Donno, just getting started exploring options :)
I’m confused with your 💡 what are these businesses going to posting? Why would i continue to follow them after they send me sats? What conversation? I don’t want to talk to advertisers!
