I'm posting this as I think it's interesting to report in V4V over time. I've been streaming now for three months and have a very small but loyal following, which is really nice to see. I don't talk about money (new or legacy) on the stream, there's plenty doing that and it's a music show.

I've had Ko-Fi and Alby payments visible on the home page and this week added QR codes for both. I've always figured if people dig it, they'll drop the odd tip, which veery kindly people have.

Currently the ratio between KoFi and Alby is 125:16. I spend roughly the same time on Nostr and the Fediverse (self hosted GotoSocial instance). I've been on the Fediverse since 2019 so that effects the relationships but I'll keep monitoring it. I live in hope that people develop a more V4V mindset, folks have been lulled by adverts paying for their internet and times are tough for most people I know.
