There are 3 business models for apps. 1. Free with ads 2. Subscription 3. Transaction fee The common thread for all three models is the user—a person, business or AI—has money to spend. That’s obvious for 2 and 3 since the model involves spending money directly with the app. But for 1, if your user base doesn’t have money to spend, the ability to monetize via ads will be low.

Other notes Farcaster is still figuring out its business model. Experimenting with 2/3. Ads would be a client-level decision. Crypto today is really good for 3, bad UX for 2 but a bunch of smart wallet stuff can improve this, 1 is nascent (although a few examples like CoinMarketCap and Dexscreener). Subvariant of 1 “selling data” but less valuable than monetizing via ads. This is also increasingly limited because of regulatory (which ironically makes the at-scale web2 players more powerful).

It should be possible to make channel banners vesting NFTs that are always onsale (like https://thisartworkisalwaysonsale.com/v2) advertisers can load the NFTs with tokens that stream to the channel owner (% to farcaster) and also control the NFTs visual display an "advert". Lemme know if I can build it for the community as a side project and experiment. We already have experimented with it actually but just werent sure how to connect with Farcaster...
