It’s an interesting read… musicians have been very much conditioned over the last 10 years to work a certain way, essentially to optimise for social media and become advertising vehicles for the platforms themselves.
It’s a tough one, an artist coming to Nostr today isn’t going to stick around once the initial ‘welcome’ zaps run dry. To even get a gig at the local pub, musicians are expected to show a healthy social media presence and labels won’t touch anyone without an already large following.
I’ve no real answers, the best I can do is to exist here and continue to be that weird guy locally that no one can get hold of…

Agree with you completely here... the paradigm shift needs to happen sooner than later. Or whatever, but i'm feeling very much like you. "That weird local guy who shows his head every halvening". Even having the advice of nostr at their beckoning I feel is of great power tho. I could never get a proper interlude to requite conversation on any other platform. We know alot, ALOT as a group/community. Too much for our own good probs 😂 - but people will be people.
