It fills me with determination to see you trying to kickstart the idea of vandalism-based marketing before considering any fundraisers.
If anyone started a fundraising campaign for nostr ads, I would be very suspicious of how they can be confident the attention will be worth the dollar cost, funneling money into the dollar's economic machine.
I'd be less suspicious of you than others, but you don't take advantage of that to start a fundraiser and ask me for donations - you give me a call to action, against the dollar's economic machine.
On the other hand, what if we actually tried a funded advertising campaign?
I think we could do strategic concentration of force by focusing on the fact that we can and will get banned from centralized platforms eventually.
Imagine your friend is showing you a video on their phone where they get a YouTube ad (because I assume your own device blocks YouTube ads)
The first 5 seconds you see a guy saying "if you're seeing this ad, I must not be going hard enough to make YouTube ban me from giving them money. I'll try harder, but for now, you still have time to be early on nostr. Here, try it, you don't even have to enter an email address or a phone number or download anything to start posting."
Which also brings me to the fact that unlike other big ad campaigns for apps, we are shilling a protocol, not an app, so we don't have to lead users to a download page they'll immediately click away from. We can take them to an engaging post on nostr, in a client they can start replying in right away.
