“I think the bottom line for creators is pay. I love Nostr, its censorship resistance and ⚡ integration. Developing NostrGram has been a dream for me. But out of the many thousands of people using NostrGram, only a small % have sent a ⚡ for the hundreds of hours of work I've put into it, and most of those are for a few pennies.

I believe in Nostr so I press on (and really appreciate those who have been more generous in their support). But for creators who are used to big payouts from ads running on their content, pennies won't cut it. It's a business decision on their part, and I get it.

My stance is more principled, but despite that principle if things don't pick up or I find a way to better monetize the platform in the coming months I'll have to turn my attention to other fiat-mining things (yuck). I'm lucky that I'm self employed and so my time is more flexible than most. That's my 2c.”
