I wouldn't say this is completely untrod territory.
Helladoge.com is a mastodon instance that rewards users with doge coin. It federated with the larger Fediverse for a while and was a pretty fun place. Recently, the founder, Mahbod Moghadam, who created genius.com has disappeared, and it has become a zombie instance to my knowledge.
OnlyFans is another place where you can pay users for “social” interactions. Patreon and other such services come to mind as well.
Obviously, #nostr is different from all of these, but these are the case studies that come to mind when I think about integrating money into the sociality of a platform.
It's obvious to me that nostr is doing something entirely different from Twitter. I think that Bluesky or Twt2 are probably closer to being 'twitter clones' than nostr is.
I'm just wary of the direction we are heading. I want nostr to succeed too, and I am worried about what this might do to us.
