Not sure about asking new people to pay I’d prefer a list of curators and then show a feed of everything they somehow tagged, then periodically pay the curators for doing a good job

There’s currently a list of one.
@Decent Newsroom is curating Newsroom magazine https://decentnewsroom.com/mag/newsroom-magazine-65b0d6

Anyone who’d like to suggest content is welcome to reach out.

Anyone who wants to become a curator, also.

The curated collections are nostr events, themselves.

I’ve come to the same conclusion. We’ve been so conditioned, though, that it’s an urge to try and subsidize everything. I have the same debate with myself over and over trying to climb out of this artificial well.
