Wow, this will unlock a ton of possibilities. Looking forward to seeing what people do with it! 

 The replies are public… funny enough i think thats the more interesting way! 

People will be intrigued. And may want to join. 

 Nice!

This is what it looks like to a non subscriber:

 Great. So global is gonna be a bunch of thirsty people replying to posts I'll never see 😂

Amazing idea though!  

  @Vitor Pamplona How much to sub? 

 Each person decides their rate for the paid feed.

 oh wow, smart 

 How do we know this isn't a faked screenshot 😉

 He well and truly has beaten me to the punch with NostrFans on this one 😢😅

This is a very clever implementation too. Mine required you to sign into another app with hardcoded nsfw private relays etc.

Having the function built directly into the biggest Nostr Android app, much less friction, and there's less "feeling dirty" that can drive people off dedicated adult platforms, and literally you just tell people "follow me on Nostr @HarleyQuinn and buy a subscription to see the best shit."

And yes this will happen. It's a no-brainer for a model. Get ~30% of your revenue taken by a centralised platform or use Nostr and run everything pretty much identical but no middleman taking high fees and, well, let's just say with LN, it's up to you how much you wanna declare 😏

 So this is a bit of game theory then: you get your subscription cancelled if you expose content because there is a watermark ? 

 👀 

 I shared my thoughts on paywalls many times, so I'll spare you my thoughts and will just say that's neat and all but I believe it's the wrong approach. 

Copy-paste will work too, always, as does OCR. OCR on Android is one click:

This is a Private note only Derek can see. This is a test of a new paid subscriber feed to be released by Amethyst in the upcommng weeks. This post cannot be verified by anybody else. The only way to expose this content to others is by taking a screenshot and posting it. But they will never be able to verify the veracity of this post. This system uses Sealed GiftWraps premium followers exclusive content wihtout allowing them to rebroadcast it to non payers. 

 Ok, but I'm still not able to verify that @Vitor Pamplona really said that.
🤷 

 Doesn't matter imho, as long as someone can verify.

 (not trying to discourage development btw, not at all. Just sharing my thoughts as most people haven't thought about these issues deeply yet, and I'm convinced there are better alternatives. In the end the users/market will decide.)  

 There's two different things:

1- keeping information behind a paywall.
2- keeping the verification to some people 

OnlyFans success shows us that #1 works <well enough> for people to spend some sats to climb those paywalls.
We know that information could be broadcasted to the world, but still nowadays OnlyFans is a thing.

@Vitor Pamplona 's proposal allows to implement #1 well enough, and even adding #2 to it. 

 Yeah, that's fine. 

#1 is basically patronage plus early access, which is fine. But the good OnlyFans content is accessible for free to all eventually, as to my point. 

What I'm trying to say is that I believe there is a better model than artificially restricting access to information. But again, I'm all for this kind of experimentation. Time will tell.  

 We'll see how this space evolve!

Let's hope for the future to be decentralised 🫂 

 I think there are use cases for both. Let's implement everything and see who wins :) 

 

 There are numerous implementation cases of subscriptions, different effects can be desired and achieved: early access, exclusive access (Gigi's point is valid), nft-like bragging rights, certification of origin. Or simply allowing people to vote with their sats and support a cause/person on a regular basis, whatever the perks.

There's so much more good than challenges that come from this.
There needn't be one implementation only. 

 I'm in this camp. I believe value for value has it's use cases and believe subscriptions have their use cases too. One model may not be the best for a particular use case. We won't know until we try it. 

 We all love Gigi 🤍
