Great points. Two thoughts… On free information: There’s a difference between “free as in freedom” (accessible, uncensored) and “free as in zero cost.” Nostr gives us the former, Bitcoin enables voluntary compensation for the latter. Aaron Swartz fought institutional gatekeeping, not creator compensation. Value for value actually enables his vision because creators can publish openly without intermediaries while still getting paid directly. On the experience goods problem: You’re right, it’s hard to assess value before consumption. But Nostr isn’t optimizing for maximum revenue extraction like traditional business models. It’s trying to create sustainable equilibrium where enough people reciprocate enough of the time that creators can justify continuing. It’s about building a culture of reciprocity, not perfecting a business model. The real test is whether enough of us actually believe in it to make it work.
