I started there with 0 sats. You can make a free introductory post and bootstrap from the zaps it gets.
Also, there’s already a very active sports community and lots of non-bitcoin discussions about economics, politics, and general news. Last month, about 60 original short stories were published there.
I don’t see anything like that level of non-bitcoin content on nostr and it’s much harder to find.

I've not paid too much attention to it. But I do like the format, it could probably do with making subsections like Bitcoin, sports, music etc etc (although I imagine they are happy with it being a Bitcoin forum, but maybe a form of it). The front page would be enough to put anyone off who doesn't want to talk about Bitcoin.
But besides an initial introductory bunch of sats, there's no guarantee that a no coiner would be able to post after that gone. Especially if they're posting niche/ignored or otherwise unpopular posts/topics. So it once again incentivises (like nostr) more Bitcoin posts.
I do like how they give you a wallet tho, no need to fuss about that step of you are a lightning noob.
I totally get why pay-to-post exists tho too
