the money on youtube and other social media for "creators" is purely about milking the advertising

pretty sure that many nostr users have ad blockers and ublock and all this other stuff

i think if stuff like wavelake was better capitalised and scaled up to do video as well perhaps there could be premium subscriptions... i pay $10/month for youtube, if i could get 10% of the content i get from that on a nostr based site i'd switch
