The WordPress drama and concerns over private equity vs. #FOSS got me thinking and I'd like to #asknostr :
Would it be possible for someone to release a super-polished client (let's call it twittstr) that protected every note with DRM (on top of protocol signatures and encryption) so that users could only read the note if they pay 12000sats/month for access to protected notes?
12000 sats would also give them a dedicated relay, media server, caching service, nip-05, and lightning address. Solve a few more WoT and discovery problems, and it lowers the bar a great deal for non-technical users.
Obviously nostriches could simply ignore the walled garden. But what if the client (and it's VCs) were able to on-board a significant portion of current social media users?
