This would be optimal in my humble opinion. I have no problem sharing the sats, if it makes it easier to reach an audience without having to figure out all the technical stuff that I am too retarded to do. 🫡 #soapstr

I believe providing artists, content creators, and merchants with the tools they need to connect with their audiences and publish/monetize/sell their work on nostr is where devs have a good chance of becoming more financially sustainable. Most people aren’t going to flock to a new social app to support their favorite devs (as much as I love and admire you devs, think how ridiculous that sounds anyway), but I believe many people would flock to a new social app to connect with and support their favorite artists/creators/writers. Provide an easy and streamlined way for creators to do their work and monetize it, and charge creators a fee, or take an agreed-upon split of zaps/payments, to access those premium features and analytics geared toward helping them with their business. Nostr is preferable to traditional content platforms because it mitigates the risks of middlemen having too much control over your content or seizing your “means of production” so to speak by banning or shadowbanning you, and coupled with bitcoin payments it further mitigates the risks associated with centralized payment systems. There are good generic social clients on each OS, but I believe there needs to be more specialization by enabling/empowering creators and entrepreneurs. This ought to become the primary focus of these social apps, because that in turn can drive more economic activity and user growth.
