Good point. I had my own and a few others' experiences in mind but that may not be a good representation.

I know bitcoin is still a pain point for a lot of artists. On the Fediverse even the mention can lead to some strong reactions. A common reaction I've had is "I'm not into crypto". Streaming on RSS on the other hand people are way more interested and open minded, I've been saying how RSS us like the MIDI of the internet and that seems to work well.

To play devils advocate - What do RSS and Nostr give you as an artist that you can't get anywhere else? Why is it worth investing your limited amount of time here rather than existing platforms with a wider audience reach? What does this give listeners that they can't get on the big platforms? Why is it worth using this over SoundCloud or Spotify? For me, I like directly supporting artists and finding good music that I can't find or that gets buried by overproduced music on the big platforms. I like the community of artists we have and the ability to have a direct connection with them with nobody in between. I also like using Bitcoin as money as it was originally intended to be. I also think this is still very technical and nerdy and most people aren't going to get it. You open up Primal and all of the top notes are about Bitcoin and Nostr and none of them are about music. How does a new user find music here? Most Nostr apps still emulate the Twitter firehose model when maybe a reddit-style community system would be better?
