 Monetizing nostr apps isn't straightforward.
Its difficult if not impossible to use the existing webs monetizing models since users can easily switch apps.

For examples:
- I could start showing ads but that would slowly annoy my users and if I didn't get new users I would slowly bleed users
- Subscriptions could work. But really only for access to premium or future feature. Not for content ( since I don't control it )
- zap splits might work. But even Lightning isn't really optimized for splitting 1-2% of a payment to a third party

I could go on, but the my point is since I don't own the content in my app or the users that use it. I don't know what I could sell besides my time developing the app

 Ads will only make any sense once nostr will be used widely and outside of bitcoin industry! 
Subscription model in open source environment should offer something unique that the other competitors will not be able to offer for free! 
Zaps shouldn’t be treated as income so I don’t expect that people will fat zapping on here that will make you for living.

 If you start a  :noStrudel:  fan community, I'm the first to join. 
If you start asking me for monthly subscriptions, I'm the first to leave.
