If I create crap content and expect to get compensated for it then I am delusional.
If I create good content and don't get compensated for it then I need to lower my expectations or find another market or create for the love of creating.
If I get well compensated for my content then as a member of a free market social experiment, I am grateful but cannot dictate what my content will be valued at. For example I have taken time and effort to explain the bottom line on the truth of nostriches spending sats on content. My content was good and yet I did not receive on sat for it , but since I expended time and effort because of my love for nostr I am not disappointed.
Again, IMHO at this point only relay operators have the ability to dictate income to match their expenditures.
I got your point. No one is arguing that bad content shouldn’t get rewarded.
My point was the incentive for a creator (not someone who makes dog shit) to use nostr. The point of the original note.
I'm not going to beat a dead ostrich.
A lot of the content is dog shit and its as though the creators expect to get compensated.
Truly exceptional content will be compensated but the level of it cannot be dictated.
