I haven't seen any evidence from Nostr (yet) that V4V will lead to a living wage for artists. I've been going around all the creators I can find (those that seem to be attempting to build a V4V business here) and looking at their zap income; often the daily amount is not even enough for even a morning coffee.
It feels like maybe we'd instead go back in time to live shows being the primary revenue source for many.
