Figured I’d share this since I saw it.

The nostr relay thing does seem a bit… off to me. Not sure what really makes nostr better than here… Unless what we really want is a twitter experiance. Which I, of course, do not.

    I’m not sure how much tipping helps. Do we have an evidence of it working before for a social network of sorts? I suppose there’s twitch subs, superchats, and podcast 2.0 type things that seem to be working, but the traction really isn’t there.

    Well, and cam whores, but I don’t think money people spend on sex translates well to other things.

      If you think about it it helps drastically in content creation. Patreon and subscribe star have created whole businesses off the idea. If you get a little money for posting you will be more likely to post. That’s why twitter is trying to bribe people to stay by paying top posters with money people have spent signing up for xeeter premium.

        Yea, it’s true that locals, rumble, and the one’s you mention support content creators.

        I was thinking on a smaller scale. Like, if I send you cash for a pleasant discussion rather than I send someone cash who is trying to appeal to be a content creator specifically for income.

            True, but often times, when we do something a lot of people enjoy, it’s a chance happening. Unless we’re hyperfocused on the point of making money in the first place, like designer bands and the like.
