People do know that unpaid labor can be viewed as volunteer work or slavery. Which perspective do you have? Whew honey. š

My question was based on this...

Furthermore, it requires a pro account for pdfs, which is a paid account. So let me get this straight⦠As a content creator, I need to post tons of free content that is free and open source based on unpaid labor while using paid services before asking for funding? š„“šš³š
Iāve honestly been down a similar road before when creating my free online statistics course. But I never asked for funding. 100% Self-funded. I did it based on my terms and conditions for my goals and aspirations.
Is Nostr.build a true Nostr client?
Thank you so much for your kind words nostr:nprofile1qqs8p9lzf3nggykr5t9st34vpv38zskgk6z062dzt92lqae8z7vp5gqpr3mhxue69uhhyetvv9czummj0fmzuam0wf4k2unn9ejx2aspr4mhxw309a6k6cnjv4kzumt9wf4kcefwwdcxzcm98g6rsdpc7svf39 that really means a lot. Iām just doing my best to contribute and bring value here. I believe in Nostrās potential and in the people building around it. Early days are always tough, but Iām in for the long run š«”

I wasnāt even trying to teach today and put all this on the world stage. But some people are gonna learn to read before stepping to me.
You can learn a lesson or be the lesson. Your choice.
You can inspired, offended, or both. Your choice.
Otherwise, be grateful that people like nostr:nprofile1qqsy67zzq5tc9cxnl6crf52s4hptdwhyaca5j7r8jwll535tdadedvcpzpmhxue69uhkummnw3ezuamfdejszyrhwden5te0dehhxarj9ekxzmnyjtdx56 are posting and helping keep this place alive while receiving less than $1000 after 100 days.
While on the contrary, a person without a following on TikTok can go viral and have the chance to make hundreds of thousands off one post.
The devs are great but you need users too. Rally behind the loyal ones. Support them as early adopters. Heck, put them on payroll. But be happy theyāre here.
So enough of the āvalue for valueā rhetoric for content when there is no current monetization model on Nostr that can compete with other platforms.
If Iām wrong, tag 10 successful content creators who are making a decent living on here.
And tag the one who is a millionaire. Not in sats but in the equivalency of dollars.
Thereās too much gatekeeping over here.
But to be honest (and Iām saying this with 100% sincerity), it feels like that some people over here do it because they finally have a sense of belonging. They were probably ostracized and ignored on other platforms and probably in real life. Some users are popular over here and would never have the following on other platforms. Itās a quirky subset of society on Nostr. The slogan is ākeep nostr weirdā. Itās weird for sure. I get it. At the same time, donāt get upset if people donāt want to sit with a bunch of weirdos. š
Some of yall are *too* weird. š
I love yall for real.
I now have a new reason as to why I might keep using Nostr and thatās to share the content from āBitcoin: The Masterclassā. But as Iāve statedā¦no funding, then no masterclass *in this format*. Iāll keep sharing content in the way I do now, which Some offline content and some online content.
People might ask why Iām still here. Well for those who lack reading comprehension skills, I already said I have my reasons. Many reasons as a matter of fact. I can let social media use me or I can use it.
*One* thing Iāve done is that Iāve already concluded my use case observational study about what American society continues to *value* over education. Even when given the ability to create almost anything brand new on Nostr, what will the average human do? I thank all of you for all of the information. š
For the record, there were two times when I planned to jump ship. But the first time, Primal released Primal 2.0 and that got me to stick around for a little longer. The second time I was going to jump ship was when I was called a twat, a nigger, and other rude names. Being disrespected publicly for no reason. I could have chosen to leave or create another use case observational study. I chose the later and itās still underway. At this point, Iām not disclosing the objective of the use case. Just keep being exactly who you are. Bots too. š
Now I can honestly make a case for other platforms and content creators getting paid in the ways they do. Technically, they can bypass the p2p shenanigans and just get a check from corporations for posting their content. Some of yāall might be critical of the methods used and you might not like the content. But itās effective and lucrative.
While yāall try to boast decentralization, freedom tech, and other stuff over here, the average person doesnāt care right now and theyāre not leaving their bread and butter for 10k sats.
Some of yāall might say fine.. we donāt want everyone here. We know. We can see it. Itās empty. Donāt be mad at me. Itās obvious.
Perhaps, yāall should change your messaging along with many other things. If youāre ok with it being like this, then stop accepting new users and keep it small. There are a lot of contradictory statements around here. The messaging is all over the place. Do you want new users or not? Do you want content creators creating content over here or not? Do you want to embrace diverse content or not? Pick a unified message and stick to it. If you want it to be small, predominantly male, Bitcoin content, and a few other things, then embrace it and leave other posters alone.
Sometimes I read through comments and all I can do is shake my head. Thereās a poster who gives sats for follows and people have something to say. Why do you even care? Itās better than an auto follow. And it moves sats around. But I digress.
*deep sigh*
Iāve made over 6000 posts about a plethora of things and people still want to keep saying things like āvalue 4 valueā or ācontent->fundingā before I should request funding. Oh letās not forget all the times I ābeggedā for sats. You canāt make it up.
Whatās the threshold? 25,000 notes? At one point is it ok to ask?
But oops if I ask, then itās begging.
People are funny. And some want to be a lesson. Welp, a lesson they shall be.
Tip of the century:
It would behoove anyone reading my content to gain context before making a reply. To the kind ones who enjoy my posts, Iām not talking to you. Youāre already my A student. You get it.
To the others, reading is fundamental. Replying to one of *my* posts without reading others to gain context can make you look uninformed. I know some people donāt like to read. So they make a choice to be unknowledgeable. Donāt you be like them. Read. And read more.
When people reply to a post of mine without gaining context, it is likeā¦
starting in chapter 6 of a book without reading the first 5 chapters and wanting to comment about the book after reading *one* sentence. š¤¦āāļø š„“š
Iām going to say this in the nicest wayā¦.read *my* content before making a reply. Iāve made over 6000 posts. Start from the beginning.
When you donāt read and you donāt have the knowledge, then the people who have been following my content are looking at your posts with bewilderment and shaking their heads. I canāt speak for everyone around here but it would behoove you to *read* my content so that you have context. Otherwise, your posts come off as uninformed. And thatās not a cute look for the whole world to see.
If after reading my information (including posts and replies) from the *beginning* and you feel the same, then return to this message with a reply. We can have a civil dialogue on the world stage with an audience regarding your initial reply. People are watching and reading.
