 Maybe Nostr most needs a 1000 new/more ways to monetize: 
-zapwalling notes, subscription to get access to influencers notes, 
-pay-per-note, pay-per-pic, pay-for-characters-extension or other pay-per-use-subscriptions for relays, 
-auto-zap for replies, boosts/renotes, edits, follows, likes/zaps, paid curation of feed from spam for more/better engagement
-zapfundraising for features or subjects for devs or influencers (apart from zappolls in notes)
-automated splits built into clients to relays, list-creators of used lists, signer/bunker-services, client devs, even to VPN or tor-providers, 

A lot of these things we have already in some form, but could use wider or better implementations (or its here and good and I just need to be better informed, if so let me know) an I'm likely too impatient.

For instance, I would have liked to autozap the first 3 boosts/renotes of this post, but I'm not aware how to. Instead I will manually zap 1000sats to the first 3 renotes I see. As a small npub this is also essential to do to have some reach, otherwise this note will be like screaming into the void.

(Side nut: chaumian ecash like cashu I think could make these solutions a lot easier and possibly better implementable than doing it directly on Lightning)
