Thanks for the input. It’s a ballpark game. Had other people tell me I overestimate it. What I was trying to do was play around with economic models to make it sustainable, reward content creators and fuel R&D for not only the operator but also the ecosystem.
I always wonder “how can money flow into the ecosystem?”. In the past I looked at content as the product being “sold”, and have that split to infrastructure and clients. But it requires too much at protocol level. Having the Relay/Blossom as the product makes it more elegant, easy to manage, and leaves a whole lot of freedom for the operator.
The game becomes to attract content creators to post via your service to access the rewards and attract normal users to fuel the pot. (Tiered subscriptions make more sense, as the content creator has more to gain).
The idea of using some of the money as grants for other projects is not purely “pro bono”. It can be used to obtain features and integration from clients your community wishes to have.
Just ideas, with lots of holes. In the end, I just wanna spark debate over economic models, rewarding content creators and funding R&D via something else than shady grants.

… and no, not Claude. The starting point was the industry splits, then added a bunch of conversations. I think that once the LLM suggested the 1USD price tag it then got stuck on it.
