 It depends on why you use social media. It's purely a personal decision .

Some generate their only income from it. You'd be silly to cut yourself off from existing revenue sources on purely ethical grounds.

If you're starting out, you could focus your attention on nostr while also trying to milk engagement revenue elsewhere.

Nostr favors authentic expression though. I'm not sure you could so easily move between nostr & centralised consumption platforms.

I like the way Lyn Alden does the dance & she always seems authentic over here. She's using Twitter primarily as a source of information though. She's not trying to generate income over there (as far as I can tell).

Nostr is still pretty new. I'm not sure how quickly it will grow & where we'll end up. I'm not sure anyone (even devs) are living purely on zaps. 
 The pure zap economy is def not there yet from what I see

But your point is a good one. Are you using it for information, entertainment, and a sense of community 

Or are you looking at it for some kind of commercial purpose 

They’re very different things 

My initial thought is that if I took the commercial angle away then it would be easy to go Nostr only
