So is building relationships and community on #nostr good enough to reach that 4% tipping point for proximity and access? 

Or if someone was just starting out…is Patreon, Substack, Paragraph.xyz et cetera really needed? 

Essentially what’s I’m trying to get at (albeit it may sound selfish, but that isn’t my heart): 

Can someone (like me??) “make a living” (for lack of better phrase) simply by building relationships (#zaps ??) on Nostr instead of using a 3rd party platform such as those mentioned? 

P.S.
I don’t mean to correlate or incenuate that receive zaps = relationships or that the goal of a relationship is to earn a #zap 
I’m simply trying to communicate, albeit perhaps not clearly, the idea and potential paradigm shift we are in which is this #v4v movement.
