No problem! I love conversations like these.
So the main problem is that if it’s on a per relay or client basis, the relays and the clients are incentivized to act as middlemen and have advertisers pay them instead of users. After all, running popular relays and developing / maintaining clients isn’t free.
There’s the idea that clients could still make money from advertisers by providing custom advertiser tailored clients.
But all that have stuff has been done with web2.0 social media and advertisers pay platforms not users.
So there has to be a better incentive to make sure advertisers want to pay users directly instead of the platform. I think the only way to do that is make the method that pays users have higher returns on engagement than normal engagement from platforms showing users ads.
If a user were more likely to click through an ad link, follow an account, repost something by being paid to see it first., advertisers might be more inclined. Micro-sponsorships!
Again this can apply to any account, not just traditional advertisers. This could work in the form of a special kind of DM or tagged post where the account sending the post would be required to send a zap along first in order for the receiving user to get it, like public DMs, this could be set on and off by users if they chose to have no ads.
