Patreon is doing good, but will still rug pull you, the creator. Is your favorite Nostr app the solution?
Great talk on the state of the internet for creators and the importance of the Follow by Jack Conte.

That talk on YT is really good! Patreon guys seem to deeply understand the creator's needs and problems. And it looks like they're building a good product to try to solve it.
The issue there of course is that Patreon is building a content platform - a single corporate entity that will eventually be forced to change course and will rug pull creators. This is when, not if.
So where should creators talk to their true fans? Where should the conversation happen? Is it one of the high-quality free open source Nostr apps - Damus, Amethyst, Primal, Habla, Highlighter, Zap.stream...?
You still don't own that place, right? Yes it's easy for you to switch from one app to another on Nostr, but now you have to ask all your fans to switch too, right? "Please please please talk to me in app B, not app A"?
Maybe, the right place to talk to your fans is not an aggregator-type discovery-focused Nostr app. Maybe it's something else.
I believe there is a better solution, and it's getting ready for launch. Stay tuned!
