Thanks for the support, everyone! You’ve really had my back these past few days. I received around 200k sats recently, and only now is this account starting to get some decent engagement. I’ve been on Nostr for 9 months and have received a total of 254k sats so far.
I’ve talked about the platform with folks in my Discord group, but many of them still feel that monetization here isn’t worth it. And I get it — most of them are making around $1000 a week on X.
Even so, I’m sticking with it and continuing to create here on Nostr. I’m confident that mass adoption is just around the corner — especially when censorship ramps up or when Bitcoin hits a new ATH. So yeah… we keep building!

Just imagine what monetization will be like when nostr actually has users!
It’s going to be less than it is now — I’m absolutely sure of that. I’ll probably stack fewer sats moving forward. Maybe in fiat terms it’ll go up, but in sats, it’ll always trend downward. That’s why I’m really grateful I managed to stack 100k here on Nostr.
You guys helped me hit six figures, seriously! And now that I’m diving deeper into Bitcoin and starting to use it as my unit of account, everything is starting to make a lot more sense… there’s just so much to take in.
Well, denominated in sats everything goes down 😉
would be great if we could reach these numbers on nostr as well. hopefully we don't have to bleed our selves to near death so people can open their wallets . 🫂

Keep it up. Nostr as a whole benefits from users who provide reliable reporting
Hey,
@ODELL , would
@OpenSats ever consider supporting Nostr users like
@War Monitor who strengthen the entire Nostr protocol by providing near-real time reporting of global events?
Correction: just real-time reporting.
How the fuck are people making $1000/week on Twitter!?
out of scope for opensats
people should zap more
V4V or nothing 💀
Stay humble zap sats?
People will turn back to nostr, once they realise the centralized matrix! #Befree

Engagement equals attention — and attention translates to monetization. Most social media platforms favor content related to geopolitics, wars, and similar topics. Their algorithms actively boost this kind of content because they know it sparks more discussion, which keeps users on the platform longer. This increases user retention and, in turn, the platform’s revenue.

On TikTok, you can make that amount per video. 🫠
On YouTube, it’s also possible to earn that amount, but it takes more effort to build your audience. Other platforms make it easier because their algorithms tend to boost content more aggressively, while YouTube’s algorithm focuses on long-term growth and is more stable.
Nostr should be swarming with activists and journalists, people who normally do not profit from their work, those are people that will really thrive here and help shift the paradigm. Along with niche content creators that don't see monetisation on other platforms because they just can't get enough followers or whatever is required for whichever platform.
Gotta get those people onto nostr.
If they're already making money on X or tiktok or YouTube or whatever nostr is not going to be their priority
In reality, these guys are already making good money. What they really struggle with is censorship — but even then, they keep adjusting their tone and never let go of the spotlight. Fame is powerful… it must be amazing to be famous: people always wanting to treat you to lunch, do you favors, and so on.

One of the few I’ve zapped. I’ll zap him again. THAT’S what quality content looks like that’s worth zapping for. Him and

Not some hot-take from a fellow pleb or a shit-post meme.
People are so worried about the v4v economy that they’re demanding we all zap every bit of trash that comes along - thats fiat thinking.
And Lex Luthor would hack it

Thanks for the recommendation to
@Implausible DeniabilityI've already posted about this on Nostr. We're in the same Discord group, and I already told him to switch over here, but he said the monetization isn't worth it because X pays more.
View quoted note →Nah I believe you will be just fine on twitter once they censor everyone who tells real journalism you’re a hypocrite and disgusting how anti humanity your reports have been.

You're not the original war monitor though
I'm sure you're one of the NAFO relics
Glad you've joined us here. We all know Bitcoin is a peer to peer electronic cash network. It's the monetary and philosophical rails v4v runs on. And nostr is at the beating heart of it all, built entirely upon v4v, where the truly principled Bitcoiners lurk.
The ones still here are the real ones willing to put their money where there mouth is. As such, I hope you stick around on nostr even after the honeymoon wears off. The protocol will test your resolve.
thats what I was wondering.
but I guess people love annechonchamber so uf you tell them what they want to hear, then you're away.
no such thing as a free lunch.
and favours must be returned.
being famous would be the worst possible existence. anything you say gets jumped on and analysed, one group or other will constantly be trying to tear you down and destroy you. it would be hell
