If we could stream sats to consume content, that might unlock some new and interesting possibilities. But everyone would need to do it or we’d seek out free alternatives 

 I agree on the surface the ad model incentives seem to make sense in the short term, but not sure about the longer arc of time. Ask @jack ?

So maybe time preference is a factor here. But also agree at scale most are clearly opting for this now.

Lets see how a reversal away from easy money changes this.. 

 Harder money will only make it less likely that creators will earn enough to sustain themselves unless they specifically name a price and ask people to pay it. You’d be less likely to part with your sats. 

 maybe. Im less certain - about almost anything. I think there are way to many moving parts to be to sure as to how it changes the market and the market dynamics. 

Whatever we know is a fraction of what we need to know. 

 Im open to that possibility tho, sure.
