I don’t fully agree there. Many users participate in V4V on other social platforms, it just isn’t called that, and isn’t as direct and open of a system as it is on Nostr. On TikTok and YouTube for instance, the platform enables viewers of live streams to directly tip/gift items to the streamers. That is V4V, but it usually comes with restrictions on who is eligible to participate and involves fiat or some form of platform-specific tipping system, all KYC’d. Nostr takes that idea and opens it to anyone who is willing to attach a lightning address to their profile. Nostr also expands it beyond live streams to every post can receive tips/gifts. The key is that those platforms have content and creators that keep people coming back. They have that because they build tools that allow creators to grow and engage with their audiences. They build those tools because they understand how crucial content is to their business of advertising. Nostr clients are not in the business of advertising, and so they fail to understand just how important content and creators are.
