I was making a few thousand dollars there, so I’m not sure how I can earn the same amount here, who’s supposed to pay, and why I would need to pay to someone for my content

#3 for sure, but I don't think this network protocol is it. Something like ION for fully decentralized identity and then self hosted Peergos for social graph and media would work. The p2p network should self-organize, having these proxy servers as a necessity is a huge weak point. Still going to try using this for a while, see how it goes.

Advertiser supported?

Are you the product?

If you have the chops, always go with number three.

This. It's an inconvenient truth. As with everything in life you need to build the skills to adapt to new situations. Most people fell they are "not technical" but can still use an iPhone, email, a webbrowser, EBay, Facbook, etc. Sadly in order for people to feel the need for change they need to either get hurt or through curiosity dive deep and start to understand. It's a slow process, but I believe the NGU of bitcoin slightly reflects this general global pbenomenon of people waking up. Bitcoin is the first step, then the rest comes slowly. This is at leas what I see in myselfe and hope is happening.

when I first started learning about bitcoin I was convinced everyone would want to run their own node. after learning lighting I'm convinced everyone is fine with having a hosted wallet. too much friction for the average

Think of it this way: When TikTok removes one of your videos or bans you completely, it’s not “censorship”. They are a marketplace and you are the product. They are just choosing which products they want to sell (ie to advertisers). If they don’t like a product (ie you) they don’t have to sell it. So, the choice really is: 1) Create only the content that will appease the marketplace owner, not what you really want to create, nor what your followers want/need to hear. 2) Create and publish content on a truly censorship-resistant, and open marketplace, directly to your followers. You see, it’s not really TikTok that’s censoring you. You are choosing to censor yourself. You don’t have to do that anymore.

Absolut richtig.

I'm in favor of 2, I'm not quite ready for 3, but will get there one day. Question now is, which relays to support and who to pay?

Is there a Tiktok-like Nostr client app that can be recommended to American Tiktok users? I know in #Amethyst there is a tab fos short-videos. But, does anbody know if any part of Americans are moving to nostr? #asknostr
