Today i realized that we could benefit from better framing Nostr to content creators. I think that comparing it to the platforms that they use is pointless. They are on these platforms because a general audience is there, as well that it allows to monetize their work. From this perspective, Nostr simply is not an alternative, and won't be for a long time. Yet, a lot of content creators, especially those that feel the censorship pressure/vulnerability for whatever reason, tend to eventually cultivate their own website as a fall-back. They understand that their website ''can't'' (it can but probably won't) be taken away from them, they value this autonomy. Some content creators do this from the get-go and after a very long grind get to a point where their audience generally manages to go to their site to the point that they are sustainable just off of their website alone, regardless of what their fate on these platforms is. THIS, is where Nostr is just 1000x times better. Not for those that already managed to do the multi-year grind of teaching their audience to visit their site. For them Nostr is still better, but their need is simply not that high. Any of these content creators, with a single prompt in shakespeare or whatever, can get a website that is actually just a passive Nostr client that pulls their notes/content automatically. It is what i did with

. The site is essentially 0 maintenance now, all i have to do is publish stuff via Nostr. This flow by itself is already better than maintaining a regular website. On top of that, they get the added benefit that if any of audience uses Nostr, that audience never has to go to their website in the first place, they just get the content regardless of what app they use. I think comparing Nostr to running your own website is a far better pitch for these people, because it avoids the comparison with the platforms, which is a comparison Nostr just simply looses. Yet these content creators still bother to create their own site for censorship resistance/autonomy reasons, and that is where we have a far better story. Nostr.
