Sort of interesting to wonder why influencers do these exclusive deals. It must be mutually beneficial. The benefit to the platform is obvious, they attract users because the users want access to the content. For content creators I'm less certain. Is it that they get to ride the wave of the platform's marketing machine? Or do they just get paid more by the platform? In either case, is this something nostr can compete with? I suppose the users we attract will be a result of the content creators we attract. And those people will not be here for the money, but out of principle, or because they have nothing to gain from big platforms. Which means we get the best, the weird, and the small. Which is ok, but doesn't really set nostr up to steamroll platforms, at least until interop and UX become so much better that users begin leading creators.
