 How many users do you think would convert to a $5 monthly subscription model from the current users base? 
 10,000 active users, maybe optimistically 50% damus users. If 1% of users buy a subscription at 6.99 a month, thats $350 a month? 
 Yeah, I see your point. Numbers are numbers.

But isn’t this unfortunately also true for zap splits? 
 Zap splits scales with economic activity, so then I would be incentivized to increase commerce on nostr, which would create a feedback cycle. Thats the only thing I can think of that would scale well. 
 💯 it's the only way to monetize and compete with ad revenue giants.  Appl really kneecapped you on that one 😭

nostrdb/damus android/nostr phone, let's goo.  Don't spend your savings too much my friend.  Cut your expenses, pivot, force push 💪 a year is a really decent runway, but without zaps and splits it's a quicksand pit.
