What if Apps added a field to let users declare their "living wage" (the minimum amount they need per day to survive from zaps). Then apps could present posts with a highlight if the author has not met his/her living wage yet.

The idea is to add a notion of cost of content. And with cost in mind, fans of the account can take action.

How do we support small creator accounts?

Talking to a creator, she mentioned that, in her experience over the past 2 months, the average zap amount per user in Nostr is an order of magnitude lower compared with other networks for the same content. So, even if she becomes a big account, it still wouldn't be good for her to stay in Nostr. I have heard similar anecdotes from others.

But what worries me the most is that the expected revenue calculations for creators always assumes a large account. Which not everyone will achieve.

We shouldnt be a network where only large accounts can collect enough revenue to survive.

So, how do we help small creators find a path to a living wave in Nostr?
