Advertising is already here mate.
What do you think half of the Chinese spam is? It’s ads for Telegram groups and porn sites. I came across a guy hawking fake Rolex’s the other day 😂
You’re taking a very narrow view of what ads are and have your own incorrect assumptions about walled gardens.
Spotify has 250M+ free users who tolerate ads because they don’t see the monthly fee being of greater value than the ads. That could be because many people can’t afford $10/month for music, or they don’t use it enough to warrant the spend, or they dislike Spotify and don’t want to give them money or or or or or.
It would be naive to think there will not be ad-supported relays on nostr where users are willing to accept ads in their feed for lower/no fees.
And that’s just the kind of insert ads you’re likely thinking about - you think the influencer/brand ads that make instagram tick won’t show up on nostr too?
I’m all-in on the pay2relay train because I see the benefits and the game theory but there advertising is already here and will become more prevalent as nostr grows.
