But we have such a tiny demand, I cannot possibly justify wasting another minute on things that are barely used. I spent a ton on analytics (almost unused), setting moderation headers (unused by any of the clients), and many other things just to have them not used with days/weeks of wasted time and money. I really do not see demand, we have so few people and so little usage of any “advanced” features.

I may be the only user of moderation headers
Yeah this I understand. Slow growth leaves little room for stuff like this.
It might not be the time now. This DeMu thing need time to grow still. Hopefully in the future it will expand to the point of being worthwhile.
Thanks for the attention anyways. I'll be keeping an eye on it and will harass you again sometime in the future 😂🫡
Not seeing demand =/= there is no demand.
You have to understand whats happening right now.
There are two very similar ecosystems, connected initially only through usage of lightning payments via keysend... are colliding.
The podcasting 2.0 world realized they could selfhost music via rss and found lightning as a payment rail via keysend boosts. Whereas Nostr created lightning zaps and primarily uses lnurl today.
These two worlds are very similar and have very similar ethos but are using entirely different communication layers. Podcastinf 2.0 comes from the massive podcasting world thatbhas been amassing users for 25 years. They have been searching for solutions that I know nostr cam provide.
But its chicken or the egg. Which comes first? Without the tools, they won't come to nostr or care. So you don't hear the demand. But they are very much out there.
All that said, hosting is not the biggest issue right now. We need to come to a gentleman's agreement with the PC2.0 crowd as to how we somewhatbstandardize zaps/boosts and move fwd together as one larger community
And why am I so passionate on this? Because there are tens of thousands of insanely talented musicians out there struggling to eat because they have no proper meals of monetization without fear of censorship or rugpulls. Nostr + rss + bitcoin fixes this but only if all 3 are aligned. Many families and livelihoods depend on this. Real music culture depends on this (unless you like ai slop)... because the industry is dying fast.
Its all a lot bigger than just some features really.
I dont disagree with this in that hosting solutions is a relatively small optimization in the overall workflow when we have larger fish to fry. But its worth a shot to set one thing in motion if it doesn't take away from other efforts elsewhere.
