Or, the money earned watching ads can fund the specific internet you want to see today. Or not. This is an opt-in experience. If enough people opt-in, we can self-fund the things we want.

Digital creators are the unpaid labor force of legacy social media. Nostr can be their refuge.

Our business model makes it possible to establish an attention marketplace that can sustain a 'creator fund' by the people, not a tech giant. This is Value4Value at work - creators earn when people believe they've brought real value, not when an algorithm decides.

Traditional ads: your attention gets harvested without consent, no payment, no control.

Our model: you set your price, you get paid, you control access to your attention.

The 'more steps' are called property rights.

You own your attention instead of having it extracted.

That's not complexity. That's freedom.

We're not commodifying attention to extract value. We're creating transparent markets where you own and price your own attention.

Every transaction is public on Nostr. You can see exactly what's happening. Big Tech thrives on hidden extraction.

We're building the opposite: voluntary, opt-in exchange where you control the terms. This is how we fund infrastructure without corruption.
