 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.
