That's not the appropriate framing for any discussion about development of an open and free protocol suite (such as NOSTR).
The appropriate framing is that existing and prospective users want services and content AND ARE WILLING TO PAY FOR IT.

The major problems with commercial social media platforms emerge from the choice to cater to "providers" (most advertisers and marketers — pushing "content" on the one hand, and ingesting user data for monetization on the other).
It ultimately degenerates into the "enshittification" that's described by the Doctorow doctrine:
