my relay website has a donate button on it. you're freeloading if you're not donating 😉
outside of my cheeky responses, i do agree that for nostr to be sustainable we do need more people participating in value for value. we do need people donating. we do need people paying subscriptions. we need people paying for services that they're using.
but i also realize that for 20 years people have been using social websites without paying a dime. hell, since the 90's when forums came out. it's been 30 years of people freeloading. we're not going to change people's perceptions over night. it's going to take a while. a long while. the best we can do until we reach critical mass is pay for services if you can afford to do it. and if you can't, i won't mind. i won't mind at all.
