The content creator economy will come to nostr eventually. But needs time and FOCUSED effort.

I believe that we often talk about things not being private or decentralized enough but fail to acknowledge that real life is not perfect. We gotta solve a problem that exists with a 10x improvement FOR SOME PPL. NOT EVERYONE. Just enough to sustain operations.

In this context UX is less pressing of an issue but there is no excuse for making mistakes on rudimentary things: 
MOST NOSTR APPS LACK BASIC USABILITY. PERIOD.

Let's do our best and don't fool ourselves. We can improve. We can also get help to progress faster. That's what I do on multiple fronts at this point.

It only takes one app to solve a problem with 10x improvement. Others will follow suit. But I have given up always trying to adhere to newest protocol "trends" because I have a problem to solve.

Nip04 dm-s being one example. In my app users connect via the Deal-process anyway. I'm prompting users to execute contracts elsewhere. Good enough to me FOR NOW. This is how we get results. Getting the crucial stuff right, not spreading ourselves thin.

Last but not least, *most* content creators clearly don't have a crucial problem. They are just complaining every now and then. We need to seek out those who might have vested interest in a no-bs, more Freedom-oriented solution. nostr:nprofile1qqs0ulmtcmmn8zmkh0uqmdqz4hn9j5lzpvhj8enw3xpqfd3ucsjnngcpramhxue69uhkummnw3ezuetfde6kuer6wasku7nfvuh8xurpvdjszrthwden5te0dehhxtnvdakqz8mhwden5te0wfjkccte9ehx7er9wf6kumn9wfejumn9w3mk7unt44fd8d told about ppl with humongous followings. That's NOT the criteria I would look for.
