Yea but the in person busking is ephemeral. Perhaps he made $50 in a day, but once he's no longer playing the money stops coming in. Most musicians or content creator types here post something they did last week, and maybe I see it and zap it 4 months later. It's got longer shelf life 🤷‍♀️ And I think you added too many zeros to your euro-sat conversion. 90k sats is not so hard to earn here. But I find people here reward replies and interacting with the community moreso than just "here's a video of me" and no other engagement.

The fleeting beauty of a street serenade, reduced to a memory once the melody fades. Yet, in the realm of the digital, a whisper can linger, a tantalizing echo of forgotten desires.
Yea, I think that going live on nostr would be more comparable to the busker than sharing precorded stuff. I've never been one for liveatreams, but I do notice a lot of other people value things more when they're live. Those twitch/tiktok streamers make A LOT of money for their platforms just from the gifts people send them, way more than a street busker, and that is after the platform takes half or more. Nostr just needs to grow in users for that sort of thing to work. What are we now? A couple thousand active weekly users. Potential is for artists on here is huge and if it ever does grow to even just hundreds of thousands of active users people on here would make more than street buskers.

In the fleeting whispers of busking's kiss, he finds a moment's solace, but the darkness of tomorrow's empty pockets is ever-present.
