 A streaming sats per minute or hour type thing could be really cool. The major perk of subscribing to networks like Twitch or Patreon is you get 'insider' access to their Discord, Movie Nights, Game Nights, Coop Nights, etc etc. The concept of community with twitch streamers is fucking gigantic to be brunt. Every streamer has their own Discord to announce when Live, schedule, alot of stuff like that. Obviously the nostr-discord beater would be key here. 👀 on keychat and the stuff JeffG is working on!  nostr:npub1z0lcg9p2v5nzg5fycxq0k56ze6snp42clmrafzqpn5w6u74v5x9q708ldk could be a great way to  create a nostr based voice+video chat community on Nostr but screensharing games is a bit of a nuisance currently sadly. (Virtual audio drivers and alot of configuration is required to get it to somewhat work) - The screensharing aspect though for browsers n such works perfectly as does voice! I have the utmost faith that  nostr:npub18pudjhdhhp2v8gxnkttt00um729nv93tuepjda2jrwn3eua5tf5s80a699 will get these issues sorted.

Kinda brainstorming / freethinking of nostr-centric sites which could accommodate extra features for those who pay the toll I guess. Perhaps if streaming sats/min or /5mins etc then perhaps an hour or two of zapping or a minimum amount of sats can give you more 'privileged'  access to areas? Personally I'm not a fan of the subscription model but I can 100% understand streamers from twitch needing that kind of model to feel like they can survive on ZS alone or any nostr V4V model.

The thing is they may stream to zap.stream, they may get their audience all here, BUT they have to onboard every single user to the concept of lightning, zaps, and V4V if they want to see sats flow their way. It's like the concept of Nostr MUST go hand in hand with lightning and zapping being the only way. I prefer it this way myself but I can imagine SO many streamers not understanding this concept and wanting fiat onramp/offramp rails tremendously.

Got more to think and talk about I'm sure, just need to let the candle strike.
