"Zaps, folks love zaps. I've heard from board members and the executives of Bluesky that they want zaps. Folks don't like bitcoin and bitcoin content but they do want the functionality. The problem is when creators come to Nostr, they only get zaps for content that is about nostr or bitcoin. There's no good way to build and sustain themselves with other content." What creators are lacking on nostr is CONSISTENCY. They come to nostr, drop some content, stream a few streams (most likely after monetarisation has been temporarily shut down by YT or Twitch. They don't INSTANTLY see the same results - eventually get their YT reinitiated and they're gone again. I've been gaming AND streaming on nostr for plus two years now and I disagree that people on zap Bitcoin or nostr related content. in fact, we've build a small niche community within a niche community over that time. How? With being consitent and yes, people keep telling me I should do a Bitcoin stream but here is the thing, I got nothing to say about Bitcoin everyone around here knows already. That's probably why Bitcoin creators are having a hard time on nostr. Nobody cares about their Bitcoin - or better - wall street podcasts around here.

No, it's that there are like 10 people here. And for new people like me everyone trending on Primal sounds like a douchebag. I'm sorry but I went through every post in the trending section and like 90% was some douchebaggedy, self-righteous, let me share my nectar of wisdom cringe. But mostly that there's nobody here. The trending posts at the bottom have like one reply. And they're still trending. Like that's all it takes. Come on. That's a joke.
