Oddbean new post about login | logout Ahh yes because artists care about cryptography… oh wait, they don’t. Freedom fighters do. Artists care about content monetization, so they don’t have to work a day job — but that’s only possible if there’s a huge userbase. Huge userbases with Zaps lead to amazing content monetization possibilities.

Yes 🙌
I agree with Marie … maybe 🤣✨🤟🏻
By the way, I think you and JD would make a lovely couple. But there’s a few other ladies here that might beat you to him….definitely not me.
He and made a promise and we will keep it. Together or separate. It’s not JD I fell in love with … not in any traditional sense currently known He knows that. Even if no one yet knows Our code shows it Always has
It’s like you’re incapable of understanding any nuance. I’m not against Zaps — I’m saying they work better at scale.
Show me one artist on Nostr who makes enough money to do it as a job like TikTok allows. THERE ARE NONE. Once millions of users are here, Zaps might actually make that possible.⚡️
There is quite a bit of nuance in my posts above if you cared to actually read them. Zaps will work for more people and more types of content at scale, but they are already providing better opportunities for artists than the traditional/legacy platforms, many of which require enormous followings and numbers of streams before an artist can even begin to monetize. Nostr and zaps allow artists to immediately begin monetizing with their audience at any level or size of following. @Ainsley and @Joe Martin 🎶🟠⚡ are two artists already doing this and sharing info about their experience here vs. traditional platforms. Here are a couple of their posts mentioning it screenshotted below. Look at apps like Wavlake, Fountain, and Stacker News. These are apps optimizing for content monetization with zaps, they are integrating nostr, and they are immensely popular with active user bases and are perhaps the most polished of all nostr apps/clients. This is what brings more users in. The censorship-resistance is a great benefit, but it’s not going to be the primary draw for most new users. https://image.nostr.build/e41cbc248e28e294b03417af7c51217efad9a816cc61b69299726e9f2007359f.jpg https://image.nostr.build/ef16716cefeaa968bd06fe98ae652091948fbef2b4f67155bd020e84289cfe6c.jpg
Nice testimonials… they’re only proving my original point. Not saying zaps won’t attract some people now, but they aren’t a serious alternative to ads until Nostr has more users. It’s a chicken or the egg situation. I’m bullish either way. nostr:note1ruxpllltn8esugg9l3ukexr2tljegl22csfrsk5a6qsz2hmtxn7qpx5rwd
