 no, they won't.

- when you have a community that values hodling over spending, those people will not subscribe.
- having subscriptions available is not a guarantee of success.
- nostr is a long way from being a viable way to earn.

 1. Nostr is not for a single community.
2. Zaps are sent liberally by hodlers so it's not true that they are prunes. value for value is real

But you can't earn a living on nostr now because the scale is too small. That has nothing to do with the technology though, it has to do with adoption

 and attitude I think, so far. in the future it may change. at the moment,the capability is there (creatr) but the audience is lacking.

 I disagree. People will pay for what they value. There’s also no reason creators can’t simply charge for their stuff like ticket sales, merch, downloads etc
