We are trying to do similar with the music scene. But it's tough when we attract a bunch of artists, everyone gets hyped, but then very few people actually open their wallets to support them in a meaningful way. People cry about not having content but dont support it when it shows up. We've had swaths of different communities blow through here over the years...

True but we’re essentially asking the same 4000 people to constantly pay for everything. Even if the music doesn’t suit their taste? 🤨
I mean yeah - its a flywheel and we are the unfortunate masochists hanging around who can start it. If artists get paid they tell their friends. Word of mouth is still king in the indie music scene. These friends bring fans. These fans are the superfans who will actually follow a band to a less convenient place, for nothing but the sake of support. This grows nostr in a real way that sticks.
