I see them as people with their own agency. They can charge for their work, or not. They can release their software for free, or as shareware, or as proprietary software. They can build in advertising, they can link it to any sort of "zap sharing scheme" they want to devise.
I see the users of their products as people with their own agency as well. They can choose free or commercial software. They can donate, or accept advertising. They can write their own software. Whatever.
My point is that NOSTR, like TCP/IP and HTTP should be an open protocol and completely neutral regarding revenue models.
That's why we use the Internet and the web today. Otherwise we'd very likely still be in balkanized cells, walled gardens filled with weeds — enshittified prisons.
It's pretty obvious folks today don't know about the history of networking, the Banyan Vines, Novell Netware IPX/SPX, protocols, NetBEUI, and all the crap that was eventually tossed into the dustbins of history by truly open and interoperable standards.
Maybe folks should learn a little more history before arguing over how to proceed into the future.
