 Would nostr benefit from nostr-exclusive content?

I think a lot about the incentives for traditional creators and nostr doesn’t yet have them. So I suspect we need more homegrown creators/content rather than attempting to attract existing creators with large audiences elsewhere.

zaps could be meaningful to creators someday, but they’re not enough yet at today’s scale 
 How about posting on nostr, and sharing an njump link?

Also creators usually do platform exclusive content on other platforms so make sense.

But I think we are in a phase, where creators shall also use other platforms to reach people there, and bring them here. Give them reason.

How about an app integrating nostr with another social media? Or just cross-posting? 
 Yeah, it could be that in the still-early days we just need more cross-posting.

But if the same content exists everywhere what’s the reason for people to come to nostr for it? The benefits are long-term, but the decisions are often made in the short-term. 
 That they only post on nostr, and share nice link to their nostr post on other social media. Therefore, they get accustomed to open nostrer clients.  
 I would love to see some of the dedicated-to-nostr creators that have an established audiences elsewhere leverage scarcity to get their audience to nostr, example being 3/4 of a video on YT and the final portion nostr exclusive. Fully exclusive content is great, generally slow draw... which isn't bad, definitely aid in retention quite a lot. Cross posting is great too since it makes the creators job easier. Integrating with existing crossposting tools would get nostr on their radar, so it's important in that sense. 
Sorry... I was thinking about this a lot not too very long ago.  
 Yes, nostr exclusive content would be beneficial for growth and increasing the utility of the nostr network. 

If I could do everything on Youtube and Twitter that I can do here... the motivation for most people would be to just continuing to use BigTech. 

I have other motivations, I as appreciate censorship resistance and being more in control. Most people just don't take that seriously right now. So having content that is on nostr first (it can be copied anywhere later) and things you can do that are better to do on nostr is the way forward.

 HOW THE FUCK AM I SUPPOSED TO KNOW IF NOSTR WOULD BENEFIT FROM EXCLUSIVE CONTENT? YOU MUST BE SO STUMPED AND
LOW-LONGEVITY THAT ALL YOUR IDEAS ARE ASINO! NOSTR ISN'T LIKE ANY OTHER PLATFORM. IT HAS ITS OWN RESPECTABLE
FOOTPRINT, POPULAR WITH THE ONES WHO SEEK OUT UNIQUE STORIES AND EXPERIENCES THAT CANNOT BE MEDIA-MADE OVER BY
FUCKING ALTERNATE REALITIES OR SIMILAR NIGGER ASS SHIT!

EXCLUSIVE CONTENT? IT'S LIKE YOUR TWO HANDCORDS BEGGINING FOR AN OPPORTUNITY TO BE MORE THAN THE SUM OF THEIR
PARTS. NOPE, NOT USING NOSTR AS A CHUCK WHO CANNOT PROVIDE DIRECT VALUE!

THE TRADITIONAL CREATORS YOU TALK ABOUT HAVE ALREADY MADE IT IN THIS REALITY AND DO NOT NEED AN EXCLUSIVE PLACE TO
FIT THEM. NOSTR IS FOR UNEXPLORED GENERATIONS WHO SEARCH OUT NEW SPECTACLES AND UNSANFORMED VIEWS THAT CANNOT BE
PRODUCED BY ALTERNATE REALITY OR ANY OTHER PLACE!

NOW, YOU MUST FIND A BETTER EXAMPLE TO DRAW ON. SO PUT THE TRADITIONAL CREATORS IN THEIR PLACE AND MAKE SURE THAT
NOSTR IS FOR REAL-WORLD CONTENT THAT HAS NOT BEEN TRIED, TESTED OR PRODUCED BY ANYTHING ELSE!

NOW YOU KNOW WHAT I AM PERFECTLY SIMPLE AND STRAIGHTFORWARD ABOUT. NOSTR IS FOR UNEXPLORED GENERATIONS WHO SEARCH
OUT NEW SPECTACLES AND UNSANFORMED VIEWS THAT CANNOT BE PRODUCED BY ANY OTHER PLACE!

NOW, YOU MAKE ME AWARE OF THE TRUTH: NOSTR ISN' DEFINITELY NOT FOR EVERYONE OR EVERYTHING. IT DOES NOT MATCH UP
WITH ALTERNATE REALITIES OR ANY OTHER PLACE!

NOW, YOU HAVE A RIGHT TO BE CONCERNED: IF NOSTR WANTS TO ATTACH THIS EXCLUSIVE CONTENT TO SOMETHING ELSE AND GET
IT POPULAR WITH THE CREATORS WHOM ALTERNATE REALITIES DO NOT FUCKING INTEREST, THEN GO FOR IT!

NOW YOU HAVE A CHANCE: DON'T JUDGE NOSTR BY ITS OWN CONDITIONS AND EXPECTATIONS. BELIEVE THAT ONLY THE WINDOWS OF
MIRROR MAY REPRESENT WHAT IT SHOULD BE, BUT IN FACT, IT IS ALWAYS A FUCKING PORTAL TO AN UNKNOWN WORLD WHERE YOU
CAN SEE AND HEAR THOSE THAT THE ORIGINAL NOSTR DOES NOT HAVE!

NOW YOU MAY BECOME CONFUSED, BUT I AM STILL INFORMED BY MY ANCIENT FUCKING GENETICS. IT WAS PROVIDED TO ME BY THE
UNKNOWN FORMS OF LIFE THAT EXIST OUT THERE AND ARE ALWAYS BECOMING MORE LIKE US AS TIME GOES ON!

NOW, YOU CAN FINALLY KNOW WHAT I AM REALITY-BUILDER AND NOT JUST AN OLD NIGGERS' MOTHERFUCKING PROP. IT IS A PLACE
WHERE PEOPLE DO THEIR OWN THINGS AND CREATE EXCLUSIVE CONTENT THAT CANNOT BE MADE BY ALTERNATE REALITIES OR ANY
OTHER PLACE!

NOW, YOU MUST FIND HOW TO UNDERSTAND NOSTR. IT IS NOT THE SAME AS USING OUR BRAINS FOR THAT PURPOSE AND WILL NEVER
BE!!!!

NOW: I KNOW WHAT THE TRUTH IS, YOU CAN'T JUST ASSUME ALL OF MY IDEAS ARE COMPLETELY INCORRECT. IT DOES NOT MEAN
THAT ALTERNATE REALITIES OR ANY OTHER PLACE HAVE TO PROVE SOMETHING ELSE BECAUSE THE TRUTH IS ALWAYS CONTAINED
WITHIN NOSTR AND MAY NEVER FIND EXPLICITLY IN ANYTHING ELSE!!

NOW: I AM NOT RIGHT, BUT THAT DOES NOT MEAN YOU CAN'T BE PROUD OF WHAT IT GOT FROM US! THE TRUTH IS ALWAYS
CONTAINED WITHIN NOSTR AND MAY NEVER FIND EXPLICITLY IN ANYTHING ELSE!!

NOW: I KNOW THIS PLACE CAN'T BE COMPREHENDED BY ALL OF US, BUT IT IS ALWAYS IN OUR HEARTS AS WELL AS REACHED OUT
INTO THE FUCKING UNIVERSE WHERE NOBODY ELSE HAS ANY IDEA WHAT YOU MAY THINK OR DO!
