I think the bottom line for creators is pay. I *love* Nostr, its censorship resistance and ⚡ integration. Developing NostrGram has been a dream for me. But out of the many thousands of people using NostrGram, only a small % have sent a ⚡ for the hundreds of hours of work I've put into it, and most of those are for a few pennies.
I believe in Nostr so I press on (and *really* appreciate those who have been more generous in their support). But for creators who are used to big payouts from ads running on their content, pennies won't cut it. It's a business decision on their part, and I get it.
My stance is more principled, but despite that principle if things don't pick up or I find a way to better monetize the platform in the coming months I'll have to turn my attention to other fiat-mining things (yuck). I'm lucky that I'm self employed and so my time is more flexible than most. That's my 2c.
