that's why a good old price tag on premium things is the most honest thing out there you can't just put stuff out there for free and then demand people to donate you enough money for a living It's the purest test of the market: sufficient demand at a given price = value and growth ; insufficient demand = your effort is not economically viable or valuable donations/tips are fun but leave too many things in the fog - to the point where you don't know what the f to think if users have an option not to pay then most won't - few will but that's just charity View quoted note →

It's clear that tipping/zaps/value4value don't work as a sustainable business model for anyone trying to seriously monetize here on Nostr. Put simply, not paying is the path of least resistance. What could have a chance of working is the ability to subscribe to certain (high value) user feeds and/or pay-to-read notes. It seems to me that this could shift the incentives and boost/increase the content value and creator economy here on Nostr.

I've always wondered how much capital the century of fiat money has stolen from our civilization—something impossible to quantify today. As such, we all struggle to explain to normies what's been taken from them via covert fiat slavery. It's like telling fish they live in water. Well, @Saifedean Ammous wrote an alternative history book about civilization and life without fiat madness. There's probably no one better to pull this off. Looking forward to finishing this one asap.
