At this point, I’ve committed to posting EVERYTHING here on Nostr and only posting every other day there. I’m so sick of the bullshit where subscribers and views keep going up but “real watch time” somehow never budges. But I need those 500hrs of real watch time (however they are discounting the watch time I AM getting) to monetize there. Just screaming into the wind, obviously. On the flip side, I’ve earned around $5 USD equivalent in sats since starting here. Obviously not enough to retire or anything, but at least I’m EARNING ANYTHING. I don’t expect to be a millionaire overnight. I just expect PROGRESS and a path towards it. Apparently that’s too much to ask anywhere else.

Exactly. Nostr is perfectly positioned for the small-following and independent artists and creators who would never have a chance to monetize on other platforms, and to do so in a more authentic and human way that lets them remain true to their art, which is something most indie artists want anyway. You can develop a niche community or following here and actually get supported for doing so, if they are the supporting type 😂
