 That spam guys want me to pay for using #Nostr. Never paid for X, fuckin Fb and Ig, so why should I pay for #spam protection? I have beautiful advertise blindness. If someone make a good working #relay with cool spam filtering and ads from sponsors I'm the fuckin in. Let me know, #devs

 You never paid money for Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter because you were the product. Your data and attention were the product that you willingly gave away. It's okay to pay for a service that you use. They cost money to run. Value for value, right? Legacy advertising models are broken and abhorrent. We can do better.

 But I were training my beautiful advertise blindness FOR YEARS! I think the most important is that community cares and in searching to solve the problem. I don't want to be product, but afraid paywall will significally decrease Nostr growth. Thank you Derek I hope this attack will end soon. I'm here with you all guys.

 Question, how do relays and client devs make money?

It's fine that it's all passion projects in the early days, but at some point market forces must align for freedom and censorship resistance.

 @miljan , how does Primal make money? I enjoy the product and am using it for free. I try to Zap good posts a few times a day, but that's paying to encourage high quality content. 

I forsee an eventual Nostr environment with many different individual experiences depending on how value is generated (ads /spam for those who don't pay, client and relay fee/zaps for better more tuneable experience).

I'm curious if there is growing consensus on how this might eventually work.

 I think someone aiming business on nostr, someone not. Open protocol means anybody can make a client or relay. For example many good clients still working on Jabber, irc, and no monetization there.
