The key I think is to approach v4v as one of many revenue streams. The other key is that you still have to create something that people love. Professional artists are small businesses, and have to approach themselves as such. Revenue can include many sources, such as ticket sales to live events, merch/album sales, V4V and more. Where/when V4V makes sense, it should be used. When it doesn’t, other approaches should be used. Nostr and bitcoin allow you instant global potential reach, but it doesn’t negate the need to put in the work and build your community and create stuff that people love.
