Don't get me wrong. I'm impressed with the level of generosity of some. Bitcoiners are value-for-value people, and some have proven that's not just talk. I think for the rest there will just need to be an (ick) paywall in place.
To be fair I've had a bunch of folks say they'd pay an annual subscription for the client. It's just a matter of pulling the trigger and putting that requirement in place to see how many people live up to their words. I haven't done that yet because I want the feature set more complete and some of the bugs/kinks worked out first, but that day is coming.
In the meantime I'm just focusing on making NostrGram the best I can to attract enough users so when that day does come it will be (hopefully) well supported. I believe in the space and the people who occupy it, which is why I'm willing to put so much work into it for so little initial return.
And I agree with you that it's a matter of time. People need to get comfortable with the way things work. I'm optimistic.
