The last point you made quoting Roy from Breez is Adam’s thesis and he’s the originator of the whole thing so it would be worth consuming some more of his ideas about it.

I’d also point out that your examples of things like podcast overheads don’t consider the the first part of the V4V equation - there is a shitton of content out there, do you really have something valuable enough to say to warrant the overheads? Because most people do not so are they aren’t producing enough value to warrant sufficient value in return to make these things anything more than a hobby.

Adam is my Rabbi

It is power-law distributed, but I don't agree.

I made most of my living by creating content. But value4value is a rounding error currently. I can sell a course / book and make a living out of it, so there is market demand for what I create and I get market feedback.

The "problem" with using value4value for me boils down to this: I create niche content. I create a lot of value for a smaller audience (either by using niche language such as Slovak, or my content is specifically tailored to some people). So people will easily buy something worth $100 from me, but they will never "boost" me $100. So that tells me there is something about the feedback mechanism and not inherently in the value I create.
