Correct on subscription pay.
Disagree on ads.
This narrative is pushed by a fringe cult within Nostr. Ads fuel every platform that exists today and has existed for 50yrs.
Ads will be a part of Nostr. But in a way that's:
-Tolerable, not obnoxious
-Private, not spyware
-Respectful of users time/attention
-Funds creators, relays, clients
I'm working on bringing all this together in a way that works. Nostr diehards can hate me all they want, but the current model won't sustain the ecosystem. Responsible ads will.
