Bitcoiners are notoriously cheap unless they have a fake company with no product but 8+ figs of VC money, then they sponsor everything but don't build anything.

But ethically right 👍

Can imagine, and it takes only one fuck-up to lose a reputation forever.

This. Few know. “Why don’t you ask xyz, they’re a cool bitcoin-only company” — not knowing everyone asks them and they leave money in the table with their ethos and have often less to spend. “Do value4value, it’s the future” — we did this with BitcoinFocus too, pay-per-view for a premium newsletter, €1 per article. But you need a LOT of readers. Paywalls aren’t cool. Full free accessible content is what creators want. And on top of that — after securing some sponsorships — remaining independent as a creator is bloody difficult.. It’s tough… good luck mate 👏🏻

Should you crowdfund, where Bitcoiners will vote and donate sats depending on what kinda documentary they want to watch.

Do less. 🤷🏽‍♀️ more isnt always better.

you can do it!

🎯

Pay-per-view is the opposite of #value4value - just saying...

#Value4Value is pay-after-view-if-like

I know! We moved from pay-per-view to a V4V model actually with Bitcoin Focus. But the audience was small (Dutch -> Dutchies into crypto -> Dutch bitcoiners -> Dutch bitcoiners who use LN -> Dutch bitcoiners who use LN to support independent creators -> Dutch bitcoiners who use LN to support independent creators regularly. But I’m extra grateful for those who do support us, and acknowledge the niche in a niche in a niche .
