From an early adopter / user perspective, its a friction thing.

There are like really only 2 ways to boost/stream.
Create an Alby accout, involving cost and UI/UX pain, then connect it to a supporting app.
Use fountain, which while I appreciate its place in the space, doesnt fit user as adoption well as other podcast apps

Then you have to fund a wallet, another app, another process, covert fiat fun coupons etc....

There are just too many points of friction where if one thing goes wrong it makes the whole chain a pain to manage.

I've given up in the walled garden that boosts currently are.
Its way easier for me to just send some sats to a lightning address directly (from any wallet)

Or just send fiat fund coupouns which have less friction to do.
