I gave it a good thought. And it's extencive.
Currently with the traditional social media the platform is the gatekeeper for the #Ads. #Advertisers pay the platform to display ads and 'trust' that they display the ads to it's users with a specific profile. - Platforms ( X / Facebook / Insta / YouTube ) are in control. - User is the product.
Moneyflow goes like this:
Advertiser ----> Platform
On nostr this shifts completely because the user is in control. The user decides which relays they connect to and which client they use. There are 3 (or more) parties involved who decide which ads the user gets to see.
1) The user himself
2) The Relay the user connects to (Relays will compete with each other in the future)
3) The client the user uses to connect to the relays. (Clients will compete with each other)
4) Maybe profilebuilders (Profile builders will compete with each other in the future)
And the advertiser? They should pay all those parties in a good proportion. (Zaps & SATs)
So #nostr will enable us to be paid to see ads from advertisers.
And relays serving those ads and clients displaying those ads also should benefit from this.
This incentives Advertisers to have a good profile of the user they want to target the ad and to add value to the life of the user seeing the ad, or else the user blocks the advertiser.
There will be "advertiser profile builders" in the future competing as well and getting a part of the money the advertiser pays as well.
Money flow goes like this:
Advertiser ---> User
Advertiser ---> Relay
Advertiser ---> Client
Advertiser ---> Profile Builder
But the main part:
User is in full-control of these though the client he uses and the relays he's connecting to and the profile builder he's using. So advertisements wil be better than on traditional social media and you get paid to see them.
Just my 21 sats on this topic.
