Ah man, I appreciate the post very much ( and the shoutout) and it resonates. It's been over a year now since I gave up Insta, Twit, etc. It was pure noise and i'm so much better off without it in my life. I've always felt that succeeding alone is completely retarded. Nostr and value for value systems are the antithesis of this. I love the ride together, die together mentally that it fosters. Despite this I am still somewhat sceptical about the sustainability of value for value. In my YouTube normie world, depsite constantly promoting it, value for value accounts for a tiny portion of my content related income. Sponsorship and advertising still account for the vast majority. I think part of this is the sheer convenience, discovery and network effect provided by Youtube. You've inspired me however to make more of an effort. Also, I think you're an excellent photographer and enjoy your work.
