Some people just don't value their own attention
To be fair, I would not hate to see an ad-supported client. I wouldn't use it, but I'd just like to see a wide variety of monetization models tried. And so when people complain about ads on that platform, we can tell them other, better, models exist.
Ads will be a sign of user growth for a client. Also, clients may become ad-suppoted, but seeing that NOSTR is a protocol it won't be be.
Whatever is clever Why you on a zap ⚡️ is the only way again 24)3 We’ve had this talk. How #DAFUQ are we supposed to recruit actual #influencers from #IG etc #IF we don’t make a welcoming environment in the first place? 🥇 1. #Bitcoin is a paradigm shift 2. #FOSS & #opensource #software is a #LARGER jump for me.

They show up as banner ads on the Home tab. You can hide them if you have a Premium account. I don't have Premium but its toggled on but maybe that's because I'm not the beta version.

I don’t get it… nostr won’t need ads, a client or a relay might run ads, if i don’t like that i will use a client which has no ads. And i will probably pay money for this client.
fair. hard to argue that. I don't think we value things that are abundant. Online, in meme format, it comes down to time and attention (only thing thats really scarce). I value corndalorian because he's in my feed and he has my attention? I don't know this is ballooning into a larger conversation than I was prepared for 😂
Somebody has to give you money for the ad space you offer. Nostr has 20k weekly npubs, there is no price low enough I'm willing to pay for ad space on Nostr at this point.
🤔 what if people don't want online social networks and that's why they don't want to pay for them and ads are just a way to give sponsored free drugs to people who don't really want them? 🤔
I can’t think of many times demand was not met with supply when entrepreneurs were free to do so. Flood insurance after a hurricane? Lending to really poor people? It’s rare.
