REALITY CHECK: I had the opportunity to meet some big creators the last days.

Been trying to nostrpill all of them.
There is an interest in having the community non ruggable.. but they don’t really worry about decentralization or being censored. Also they don’t care about zapping…

USABILITY and UX is THE MOST IMPORTANT FACTOR FOR THEM!

I got some interest from the interoperability of different apps on the protocol - but it’s still hard to understand for them.

For most people #nostr doesn’t solve a problem yet. Which is fine.. I think it’s just an important reality check and it makes you realize how early everything on nostr is right now. Most here did their POW - and if you read this you’re an #nostrOG

I just realized how fkn exciting it is to be part of a new technology emerging. We all see the work we need to do but also have the grand vision - which no one knows how it’s going to play out.

THE WORLD NEEDS NOSTR IT JUST DOESNT REALIZE IT YET

Having joined Nostr a little over a year ago, it has gotten substantially easier to navigate and engage with others. I can only imagine what another year of building is going to do to the platform. I try to think of Nostr today as what Twitter must've felt like in 2008

I've been thinking of small creators. They are the ones who get $4 checks from Spotify, or have worked for 10 years to get 9,000 subscribers on YouTube, or reached 10,000 and are not granted authrorization to monetize. Bandcamp users. Local cover bands. Farmers market / festival booth / consignm...

I’m guessing zapping could also be something that’s interesting

As a creator, I think finding the time that your audience would be most receptive to checking you out on a different platform is another important side of it. Both the creator and the audience need to really know how they’ll use and benefit from it.

Yep. Nostr wins with exceptional UX and new experiences. Censorship resistance is a side effect not the carrot. 🥕

Where there is an audience to tell their stories to creators will come. The larger the audience, the bigger the creators. I believe there will be an event horizon at some point. Then, creators will be forced to come.

When zaps are the most important component of Nostr for people, they are quite greedy. We don’t need that type people yet now imo 👀 We need the people who care about keeping the ownership of their data and see the benefits of the portability of this in the ecosystem (the nostrverse)

Is usability and UX really what’s most important to them or is it just a proxy for easier revenue generation and/or lowering costs?

We are built different. Learning to accept it.

"USABILITY and UX is THE MOST IMPORTANT FACTOR FOR THEM!" So is monetarising on their viewers on centralised platforms. I've been around for 12 years now and 95% of our influencers are hypocrites. Very view actually live the "bitcoin standard" they're preaching and even fewer create quality conten...

I think nostr is still, understandably, still too Bitcoin centric for most people.

Yes totally agree, NOSTR will be the light at the end of the dark tunnel, everyone will come running. It mirrors Bitcoin, it is a life raft.

Their hook will be different than most of our hooks. Once their inconvenience happens. As options get easier, better, sexier as others say. Keep chipping away.

For most people #bitcoin doesn’t solve a problem yet either

I still don’t get why usability and UX are viewed so negatively. Signing up and using #primal was faster and easier than twit*er— sounds more like a perception problem or a cop out
