Think of it this way
Nostr is a tool a hammer. It will be judged by the houses built with it
And no real estate agent markets hammers
Or builders. Unless the builder is frank lyod wright
I would think it is like minded people wanting to share a resource that protects them against rug pulls. Birds of a feather. Social gunna social unless spergs censor it
lightning for payments was a huge turn off for me. nothing said "closed minded" louder than use my money. I pay content creators on youtube, reddit, tiktok, likey, patreon, kofi, gumroad, IG, OF. no muss no fuss. first day.
Btc was easier for Me. Even in foreign countries china and korea where the UI is not English. I could join and fund social content. I used douyin for months in china. Before they launched ticktok globally. Developers just understood how to avoid friction in onboarding
I will say sign up was too hard. Like an inverted funnel. Lesson 1. Tell your secretary to register for you
If she can't you broke something that was working
I saw zaps figured it was lightning because tech debt is cheap. Then I remembered losing hours and crypto on lightning and decided tiktok had a better monetization approach
Monetization of content is easy if you steer clear of crypto. Witness how easy it is to reward content creators on tiktok, afreeca.tv. likey, kofi, OF, absolutely no friction. No tech debt. It took me 15 seconds to figure it out.
