There is quite a bit of nuance in my posts above if you cared to actually read them. Zaps will work for more people and more types of content at scale, but they are already providing better opportunities for artists than the traditional/legacy platforms, many of which require enormous followings and numbers of streams before an artist can even begin to monetize. Nostr and zaps allow artists to immediately begin monetizing with their audience at any level or size of following.
@Ainsley and @Joe Martin 🎶🟠⚡ are two artists already doing this and sharing info about their experience here vs. traditional platforms. Here are a couple of their posts mentioning it screenshotted below.
Look at apps like Wavlake, Fountain, and Stacker News. These are apps optimizing for content monetization with zaps, they are integrating nostr, and they are immensely popular with active user bases and are perhaps the most polished of all nostr apps/clients. This is what brings more users in. The censorship-resistance is a great benefit, but it’s not going to be the primary draw for most new users.
