I think this is brilliant, tbh, and I kinda think that we should set a HIGHLY INFORMAL "budget" (for lack of a better term) to create a VERY good first impression to incoming content creators.

Wrt the question at hand, one of the things I've been meaning to add is nicer support for "pinning" content on someone's profile; making it very prominent, youtube does this very well where a creator can have one video as the main "welcome" video.

And, 100%, we could very easily welcome her with a lot of zaps to far exceed $20 as a nice first impression 😀
