Streamers can help #grownostr
Kieran (npub1v0l…qj49) and Vitor Pamplona (npub1gcx…nj5z) recently added support for live streaming on Snort and Amethyst. This allows streamers to live stream their content from coding sessions, to video games, to live talk shows, and even to news.
Streamers are especially good for Nostr's growth because they can attract new users to the protocol. When a streamer live streams on Nostr, their viewers can see the platform in action and see how it can be used to create and share content. This can lead to new Nostriches joining Nostr and starting their own streams.
Why will they do this? *ZAPS!*
Zaps are Nostr's hidden gem inside decentralization and censorship resistant communication. You don't have to register anywhere or submit KYC information. You don't have to meet any centralized requirements. You just add a Lightning address to your profile and start streaming. It's that easy to get tips for your content. Twitch and YouTube can't do that.
In addition, streamers can help Nostr grow by promoting the platform to their current viewers as they mention they have a new place to stream. When a streamer talks about Nostr on their stream, their viewers are more likely to check it out. This can lead to a snowball effect, as new users who find Nostr through streamers then start streaming themselves, attracting even more users to the protocol.
Content creators are a valuable asset to Nostr. They can help the protocol grow by connecting with new users, promoting Nostr to their audiences, and building relationships with their followers. As Nostr continues to grow, content creators will play an increasingly important role in its success. They'll come for Zaps, but stay for the ecosystem, decentralization, censorship resistant communication, and being part of building the future.
