We're excited to announce a new initiative to get creators and journalists on to Nostr. This is a project organized by nos.social with @primal, @Highlighter, @npub13myx...v3qk, @Damus, and @YakiHonne. The goal is to get a diversity of content on to nostr and show those creators and journalists that the nostr model of zaps and the new subscription content over nostr is a better alternative to centralized advertising driven platforms. #value4value Please share this with creators and journalists you know who are already on Nostr and also those who might want to join. This will include both getting these folks on to the nostr apps which make sense for them, setting them up with a wallet, teaching them how to be successful on nostr, and importantly promoting them through a bunch of channels on nostr so they can build and audience. We don't have the deep pockets of meta and tiktok, nor their powerful AI driven algorithms, but we've got something that can be more powerful, people. Creators and Journalists know they're stuck sharecropping on centralized platforms that can demonetize or delete or just shadow ban their accounts. One day their content gets broadcast to the world, the next the algorithm doesn't even show it to their followers. Their revenue is dependent on getting a cut from an opaque and arbitrary advertising system. So, share these links, if you're a creator or journalist sign up, and when we start promoting these folks on nostr, check out what they're doing and if you like it, send them zaps. This is open to both existing nostr creators and journalists and new ones we'll onboard. https://www.nos.social/creator-residency https://www.nos.social/journalism-accelerator

Hey Rabble, wasn't the nos.social nsec compromised? I remember it was changed to Pablo before, and because of that, I ended up muting this address. Would it be better to start with a fresh address for nos.social for people to follow, or is this address somehow secure again?

Do any real journalists exist? I only see propagandists and parasites in the legacy media. Good luck though, I think you have a good idea!
This is a great initiative and I look forward to more content on Nostr. Thanks for doing this Also, I will share these links on the inferior platforms 😁

Is this only for content creators (e.g. vlogs, blogs, and podcasts), or is it also open to people who create open source hardware and software? I ask because I make an open source hardware password manager and I like sharing updates about it, but I'm not posting with the intent to entertain. Also, I'm a regular person, not a brand (and maybe that's part of my struggle?). Just trying to understand if I should apply. I get the impression the target creators have their 💩 together mors than I do. 🤣
Of course, but we are trying to get a broad variety of people on who are going to use bitcoin and lightning but are talking about other things. One thing we discovered in our user research was that the nostr community was welcoming and friendly, many folks who didn't know about bitcoin liked using zaps, but that people wanted to see people talking about other things.
Great initiative! Unfortunately, the financial part will only really work at scale, when many more people are on Nostr. As of today, it's good for content creators to be here and build a community, but the zaps are not enough to leave other big censored platforms.
This is awesome! Thank you for doing this! I made this short video to onboard more people, it also mentions the #v4v model, feel free to share 😉 :
Great idea! Would love to help support it - especially for journalists and content creators doing things in the travel & lifestyle space

You mean agenda-ists, not journalists. There are very few journalists these days. They mostly all have agendas.
