Most "content creators" on Reddit, 4chan, Hacker News don't earn shit, and haven't earned shit on Twitter for most of the time, yet all of these platforms are used.
Videos are different. YouTube hosts many videos which require a lot of effort to make, and are made by teams of highly skilled people, which channels run by company who have them as their main activities. But Nostr isn't a video platform. Most media is merely linked, not even stored in any decentralized way (which would be the purpose of Nostr) and no more "on Nostr" than anything else one types a link to.
What users need is to interact in a pleasant way, as peers, sharing memes and information. I hope communities will succeed, maybe thanks to Reddit being criticized for the excessive moderation, a platform which used to be a free speech open source one.
