Yea but the in person busking is ephemeral. Perhaps he made $50 in a day, but once he's no longer playing the money stops coming in. Most musicians or content creator types here post something they did last week, and maybe I see it and zap it 4 months later. It's got longer shelf life 🤷‍♀️ And I think you added too many zeros to your euro-sat conversion. 90k sats is not so hard to earn here. But I find people here reward replies and interacting with the community moreso than just "here's a video of me" and no other engagement.
You are aware that this is nostr right? I mean i understand the point of a single zap of 100 sats being only 5 cents or sometimes not even that. But comparing a total of € 50 for a street musician is quite different. Let's start with the fact that he can attract people because people hear his music from afar. If he's ok a decent spot he gets much more visitors than the average nostr artist and the most important fact of all. He is alone and the only "zappable" person in the vicinity. On nostr pretty much everybody is sort of holding their hand up for just a shared thought or a giggle. On a good day i share maybe $1 around on nostr but it is simply divided over many more people.
