I am diving deep into this topic right now. I imagine a world where I can spin up a custom relay that hosts my content. You can interact with me by connecting to my relay. Think of all the subscription, pay-as-you-go, marketplace, loyalty program, WHATEVER financing model and BAM, one-click-install (read: Relay-as-a-Service (RAAS)) and you're able to get paid for what you produce.
Right now the influencer market is nearly entirely centralized.
Think of all the YouTubers that get "demonitized." Fuck that.
I can post my content on a paid service that hosts my videos/images/PDFs/novels/artwork/3D-schematics/whatever and you can buy them thru a nostr marketplace.
There was a good presentation on Nostr marketplaces by the creator of LNbits at Nostrica.
I can even use AI models to act as moderators and fully customize them to however I want them to act. Think of Gmail's spam filter, but you fully control it!
If I want to connect with or follow YOU online... because I am inspirited by and value what YOU make... I can connect to YOUR relay - and nobody can stop me. I can also pay you and engage in Value-for-Value... that's the power of Bitcoin-powered Nostr.
All we have to do is build it.
