Closed platforms dictate how creators can monetize their content. Open protocols shift that power back to the creators, giving them the freedom to choose how they want to monetize their content.

MONETIZE MY CONTENT HARDERR DADDY
View quoted note →
Closed platforms rent you an audience. Open protocols let you own your connection to it. That’s sovereignty.
That or closed platforms are dictated by the closed payment processors they use on what can be monetized.
I had this conversation at a graphic novel premiere the other night! Many twitch streamers with gaping mouths while I described the elimination of the middle man.
Did they understand or think this is possible?
They thought I was describing a magical utopia. The emphasis on follow count is hard to let go of for some of them though. Explaining quality of followers over quantity is a challenge.
Expecting one of them to try zapstream and Nostr this weekend. 👀
It's going to take several touch points before people decide to give these new concepts a try. Great work!
I’d argue that audiences dictate how creators monetize their content. Closed platforms just guard the door and collect the cover.
Audience gives you the illusion of a choice if it's on a closed platform.
I agree with that, they definitely tell you who you can reach. Guess I’m coming from a place where memes and pics and vlogs get more attention than text. Audience preference dictates what content is worth creating.
Closed platforms restrict the types and terms, but open protocols let creators play. Regardless, true monetization depends on creators aligning with audience desires.
Follow me if you see this please! New to Nostr and don't want it to feel lonely like it does now. Thanks team
