For me as an aspiring content creator on Nostr, I feel it's just going to take a bit of patience in terms of getting zaps for content. In the long run, I believe those who get in early and stick to it will be rewarded for the value they consistently produce but for now I'm taking it kind of as an early content creator on YouTube before the monetization. Creating, and sharing notes and other things on #nostr without expecting to be monetarily compensated but simply for the joy of being able to create in a digital realm powered by freedom. Just like #bitcoin, #nostr will ultimately reward those who have low time preference so I feel as content creators on nostr we must believe in the long term potential of nostr, and keep building without worrying too much about the short to mid term outcomes.
Understanding nostr is quite similar to the process of understanding bitcoin. It takes time and a constant curiosity to want to learn and experience it's potential, which I'm also just realizing. So for those content creators that came here with the motivation to earn quick zaps, I encourage you to first dive deep into the nostr rabbit hole and then you'll soon realize it's way more than a place to earn zaps!
By breaking out of the fiat Matrix, I've learned that money should never be our main motivator to do things, especially the things that we love most and we are passionate about most. The majority of people in the fiat world are driven by making "money" and that is exactly why it's such a depressing and hopeless world.
With that being said, money is still a powerful and important tool, and we do need it to live day to day. Therefore, maybe the short term solution for content creators is for us to 1) continue learning about nostr 2) continue creating and building 3) and keep working in the traditional space without going all in on nostr right now in order to pay our bills.
And of course let us all help each other out #plebchain 💙
We are still so early and that makes me immensely BULLISH!

quoting nevent1q…5f72Well, just lost everyone I recruited to Nostr. Some were friends, some were strangers I met in public. The reason they all gave was very similar. They mentioned about how 100% of zaps and support goto Devs. There is 0% support for creators. I've seen creators write long articles and get zilch for zaps. But when a dev mentions he had a good poop for the day, thousands if millions of zaps are hitting that note. I feel slowly over time it's going to be the fail point of Nostr. Worst thing , some of the people praising and begging to zap devs, have the same IP address of some devs. You can built a platform. But after that it's just a blank canvas without any paint. The paint is the creators. Some of my favorite creators post here anymore. And I feel it's because of the same reasons of everyone I recruited who quit. I've seen people giving millions of sats away in contest and just for fun. Same thing. No one cares.
So with this Rant , I urge all of you. Go zap your favorite content creator. Before this turns into a ghost town with echoes of good morning and pv.
