 Hmm. I wonder if Zaps and value for value wouldn't have taken off the way they did. I like our path.

 Starting with subs would have sucked the fun out of zaps I think. But I am looking to subs on Nostr now that the basic infrastructure and user community has been established

 But neither have actually taken off. 99% of nostr users don't have a zap-enabled setup and 95% of those who did set up, only used it for a few days (testing). I think if subs had been a thing, we would be more focused in making the creator economy work instead of just a charity play, which is what zaps are today.

 Which is where I’m going to be razor focused on (hence working on the ease of onboarding).

Nostr can be a godsend for creators.

The same way people with vast economic capital have a disproportionate impact when they adopt bitcoin, so do creators/influencers with vast social capital when adopting a social network.
