Does your show provide enough value to warrant larger zaps?
In other words: Are you putting out high enough quality content that's worthy of receiving any value in return?

Maybe you are, maybe you aren't. 🤷‍♂️

It is normal in the v4v space to go through ups and downs. The cold reality is that less than 4% ever return value.

Example:

https://op3.dev/show/ebebbf711998472b86b9114fe3aba3d3

During the month of May 2026
Lightning Thrashes had 481 unique listeners
23 of those listeners actually boosted into the show (4.7%)

A total of 77,146 sats (not my cut the majority goes to the artists)

Even Adam Curry and John C Dvorak get frustrated at times with the amount of support they get for the No Agenda podcast but they persevere.

I used to get super upset about this until I just learned that I needed to do a better job.

This episode is where I really expressed my frustration about it.

It's only 6:04 long

Are you taking advantage of the full podcasting 2.0 RSS ecosystem (streaming sats, autoboosts, podping, keysend, TLV records, Helipad, etc) ?

Are you following the tenants of v4v? https://value4value.info/

Do you thank people and read their support messages (boostagrams / zaps) on air (closing the loop)

Also for some reason nostr folks think that 21 is a high number. I don't know why this is but it is a nostr reality.

RSS folks think 33,333 is a high number but 1111, 2222, 3333 are normal amounts to send IDK why this is. It just is.

Anyway, this is not me calling you out on anything or even criticizing, just giving you my perspective and a few questions to ask yourselves.

I wish you all the success in your show and I hope it gets better for you.

P.S.

I can quote those numbers to you because I run my own node and because of keysend, tlv records and Helipad.
