It would be best to have a “subscription” feature built into a popular client such as nostr:nprofile1qqs9xtvrphl7p8qnua0gk9zusft33lqjkqqr7cwkr6g8wusu0lle8jcprpmhxue69uhhqun9d45h2mfwwpexjmtpdshxuet5qyt8wumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnswf5k6ctv9ehx2aqlk6gvg . It could even be something as simple as receiving a reminder/notification to support a creator you’ve opted into supporting, with a button to zap them. That keeps it optional and leaves the user in control. Typically subscribers would get access to content that others aren’t privy to, or at least access it earlier than others get it. They would eventually need to figure out how that would work on Nostr. Probably “early access” is easier to achieve than “exclusive access” because of the nature of digital content and how easily events are broadcasted around nostr.

I agree, the function fits with content specialized apps. especially since they already have a build-in wallet. This makes it much easier to configure compared to connecting a 3rd party wallet through NWC.

nostr:nprofile1qyd8wumn8ghj7enpdenxzun9wvhxummnw3erztnrdakj7qg4waehxw309aex2mrp0yhxgctdw4eju6t09uqzp47czz0wgdjhees9dtdyv5cqdwakg8e3u58g2fpks8p8y3g8sy0vf86jar build a function for this where notes containing content are decrypted upon LN payment.
The - tag should prevent trivial republishing; the rest is just good old pirating which will always exist.
Personally i think the zapbox relay model would work best:
follow = get free feed;
Pay = instantly just get the free+paid content aswell in the feed.
Most frictionless, client independent experience for the user. Publishers need to make sure they use the right relays that will comply with their chosen witholding scheme/metrics.
