I don't see why anything needs to be "incentivized". How do you know that zapping more than whats happening naturally is good?
It is as though Nostr would earn tax from zapping and wants to incentivize zapping with shiny badges. It'll be pointless if someone ever does it. Anyway.
Here's a true incentive for zapping:
If you tell me 5 creative ways of using zapping for your benefits, I'll zap you 69 sats for each.
Reasons to incentivize zapping:
1. Let the creators earn by incentivizing their followers to zap them by giving their followers special badges in their reply sections.
2. 69 sats for people that give answers i agree with(I'm rational i'd say)
I believe that we need to create natural incentives as opposed to artificial incentives. Or naturally align incentives with your incentives.
If your Nostr client helps your users earn money better, then you're creating value that you can ask your users to pay for.
All the counter arguments will be rewarded 42 sats.
