I am a big fan of the value 4 value (V4V) model and I'm continually exploring novel ways to incorporate it into my life. Adam Curry's philosophy resonates with me, as I believe that V4V entails not only receiving financial support but also engaging with one's audience and fostering a sense of community.
While streaming sats is a fantastic way to show support, V4V also involves encouraging one's audience to contribute value in other ways, such as sharing content, submitting fan artwork, and providing feedback. I find that by actively soliciting my audience's input, my podcasts' value is enhanced.
To facilitate V4V, I have discovered several platforms such as Nostr, Stacker News, and Fountain, that make it more straightforward to participate in this model. I am always seeking out additional V4V platforms and techniques that have been successful for others. If you know of any other approaches to V4V, I would appreciate it if you could share them with me.
