If we want to have new community owners bringing across their user base to Nostr, I also hope we see private communities. That will help us eat into the substack model, without the flaws of centralisation.

I know a lot of people dislike gated content, but it allows you to filter out a lot of the spam/ low-quality contributions & content.

Again, creators would pay a tidy fee for that privilege, and continue to monetise their communities.
