I see your point but I find it a menace to copy legacy media’s (mental) models of monetization by scale. 

I strongly believe it doesn’t have to be this way. Not yet and if later, hopefully very differently. 

To #grownostr user base, to make it sustainable, and to make it resilient are all important but very different things. Sometimes they intersect but more often than not they contradict each other. 

As always: trade offs…
