If nostr apps removed zaps, how much would you care?

Anyone think posts would be better without money totals on them?

zaps are fake and centralized anyway. wouldn't miss them that much

Wouldn't care. I don't think zaps are Nostr's killer feature

looks like people who like zaps weren't bothered to answer this hater post

Replace zaps with monero than

this

Definitely something to consider

Some clients allow anonymous zaps or zapping without nostr network knowing

i.e. Amethyst

Btw Pubky looks really interesting. Can't wait to check out the public beta.

I think the two question are widely unrelated.

Would I care? Yes. Folks need to wake the fuck up about money & a bolt icon is intriguing.

Do they make posts better? No. They accrue after a post, and they're easily gamed.

How do zaps wake people up about money?

I should have said freedom tech too. Most folks haven't ever asked themselves "what is money?" Even weak bitcoin integration is the best available way to show not tell them how to answer the question.

> Anyone think posts would be better without money totals on them?

I kind of do.

In the client I am developing, I am avoiding any feature related to money. This, of course, includes "zaps".
