I’ve ran v4v experiments with fiat and it was impossible to earn a living. The only time it sort of works is when you are already mega known and have massive reach. Doing v4v in sats only just narrows your earning pool.

I committed myself to see if V4V is a valid monetization for being a creator. If it doesn’t work this year - V4V will be dead for me and only remain a fun gimmick. NGL being a V4V creator is the hardest mode of being a creator. If a pleb only values my content for 2sats it’s ultimately on me to make better content so next time he’ll zap 20.000 sats. I believe by going the hardest way this will ultimately yield in the best result. I don’t know yet what these results will be but I am here for the journey and the revolution. Now it’s up to me - let’s make V4V fucking work 🫡 🤝 View quoted note →

It could work at scale and maybe later, but I really doubt it’ll work at this scale. Happy if I’m proven wrong.
The switch starts slowly. I started 15 years back with 10 iceland stock video shots and I did not make any income. @TravelTelly Now with 20.000 shots from around the world and have seen the world many times its a basis to do more 4v4 stuff. So yes its good to have more income sources. But it’s all about the small steps every day. You will get hit hard many times 🥊 but always stand up💪 (Martial Arts is the best way to learn this and use it in daily life🙏) Never give up! Understand that maybe it was not the goal you were going to but it kept you moving to open an other door on the path what you thought was your goal! Embrace the chaos and enjoy creating ✍️🎥🙏

It’s really not for everyone. There’s significant opportunity cost to wasted time trying to push boulders up hill. It’s ok to try but also try to learn from all who came before you.
Value for value shouldn't be relied on exclusively, but as an extra revenue stream IMO. It's just providing content creators with an easier and more direct way to receive money from fans and not just get shafted by the likes of YouTube and Spotify. That's still a win in my book!

I thought it supports both but I could be wrong. Buymeacoffee gumroad are a few others
