Content metrics surrounding zaps will give more clarity to content creators way better than any algorithm or “like” system ever did.

Clarity of action and result.

However, I see a future where high sat worth content creators will zap themselves just to surface to the top.

I’m ok with that, because the LN nodes routing those zaps will benefit from it. And it’s not sustainable.

Why wouldn’t it be sustainable? If there is high value outcome associated with that behavior it will happen. People already pay for likes, followers, and views.

Like, followers, and views cost nothing.

Zaps have a cost.

You’re probably right about sustainability though.

100% agree. But clients can implement ways to curb the self zapping..!

Definitely not. I just create a new key and zap myself from my new key.
