Been in uptick in nostriches begging for zaps.

The market is speaking. Your content isn’t worth the zaps.

If Bitcoin, lightning, and nostr need people zapping content the market deems as worthless in order to stay alive, then they, too, are worthless.

I don’t believe either network needs zero-value content in order to survive. I think decentralization (and all of the benefits that come with it) is all that is required.
