Yeah, they seen to just be on a downward trend for a while, I like the Alby team, but this seems like a bad decision for them as a company and Nostr, why not just increase fees on transactions if they aren't making enough.

It’s a business though right? I mean how else are they going to provide all those channels, unless you get an ad every time you’re zapped…
If it’s done as a reasonable percentage I’m cool with that, if it’s a flat fee that would put me off.
How do they currently pay people?
A freemium model could be a way to monetize nostr clients by offering a free basic version with limited features and a premium paid version with full functionality. This doesn't rely on VC funds, donations, zap fees, or adspace for client dev revenue.
A breakdown of how it works:
* Free version: This version includes the core functionalities of your app, enough to be valuable to users and entice them to try it out. It may have limitations on things like customization options.
* Premium version: This version unlocks the full potential of your app, providing advanced features and customization options. It offers significant value to users who find the basic version useful but want more.
The key to a successful freemium model is to strike the right balance between the free and premium versions. The free version should be good enough to keep users engaged, but not so good that they don't see the need to upgrade. The premium version should offer clear value that justifies its cost.
