I think it is odd that an advertising relay hasn't been made. (I know there aren't many of us here that might be a factor). I think it could actually be a selling point for some people, especially people arriving on zero sats. I know it's not for everybody and most people here are probably quite wealthy and on above average incomes,.so it wouldn't appeal to them. But I think it could function like how Brave Rewards should be.

Obviously it would need some mechanisms so it wasn't abused with someone spinning up thousands of npubs and claiming advertising rewards. (Maybe PoW and caltchas - no idea).

(Anyway if anyone wants to go into business with me lol...)

Or even advertising DVMs

Not sure how that would work..?

That does exist yeah. But I was thinking of people opting in to a relay that adds paid+for posts to the timeline, and similar to brave (or Slice), the viewer gets a certain percentage of this 'ad space' revenue. Or something.

Check out our video here on the attention marketplace. This is what we're building. https://joinnextblock.com/features

Atm following the asknostr hashtag is a bit like this lol, there are people self-promoting and some of it feels a bit like spam. So it wouldn't be too dissimilar lol, but at least the recipients would get paid to see the self-promotion.

(This is also part of a wider problem of discovery, something which eg the primal trending sidebar totally fails at when it shows you their top 20 read-receipted posts. But that's another story lol)

i used to follow asknostr and grownostr hashtags, but they just became too spammy. i still post to them when appropriate, but i wonder how many people following them stopped after awhile like i did...

On it.

We are building a Nostr client that pays people to watch ads. Follow us at nostr:npub17vscfmnmshfdw68llhduxtr4h0kkmyhzm4phzs40t3gqsmguz7lsak66ne and visit www.joinnextblock.com to sign up for the beta!

I'm surprised Slice didn't do this first. But it's a good idea. I think it could also be a good way to attract some people (not for everyone obviously lol). Good luck:)

We are building an attention marketplace that will be open source for any client to plug in. This business model would transparently fund development on nostr. We're very excited about it. Thank you!

POW only costs money. If there is an economic incentive, POW is meaningless and, for sure, it's not a form of CAPTCHA.
