*Quality creators*
Throwing a forgettable concert with a NOSTR interface doesn’t immediately deserve zaps. Neither does a pretty girl with tattoos posing scandalously.
We need original and impactful *art*, *music*, *philosophy*, *science* shared on NOSTR … AND that sharing needs to be uniquely, more conveniently, etc. consumed digitally.
For example, a concert is meant to be consumed in person. The value of the concert is the human element of a shared, live experience. Once the novelty of zapping and V4V wears off and/or more artists start streaming via NOSTR creators should expect the value to trend towards its marginal operating cost to push a live event out digitally, which will trend towards zero.
It’s the great reckoning our generation faces…all this digital content is essentially worthless. Even if it is “invaluable” … the equivalent of Jeff Booth’s oxygen analogy.
There will always be someone willing to post/stream content essentially for free. Unless there is something TRULY unique about that content, the value trends to zero. That’s why corporate social media has to sell the metadata…the actual digital content we generate is worthless.
