Any time I post something like this about zaps, I get a few comments from people who misinterpret it and accuse me of complaining that I’m not getting zapped enough. Maybe they just want to argue, or maybe they’re not getting laid at home and have some pent up energy to vent. Idk. This post is an observation about the general “zap economy.” Whatever delusions anyone wants to believe, the current way most people zap on nostr is not going attract any quality artists/creators to stick around long. You may not like it, but deal with it. Zap more.

agreed. 👍
YES, STAY HUMBLE AND STACK ZAPS ⚡️
yes. this is true.
I enjoy it here
Don’t care if it grows, but hope it does 🤙🏻 https://video.nostr.build/937aa4307cfbfc1a51c41c3d9ff34777fabd116e47554d7b5d71f195f2d63234.mp4
You are right! The “economics” of nostr still has a lot to be analyzed and developed in Oder for it to be sustainable!
It's about economies of scale too. You can't expect people here to pay for everything. They'll go broke. We need more liquidity. We need more users to help pay creators.
We have zapped a lot of bitcoin over the past two years, but if you look at the stats, you'll see that people zapping really hasn't grown all that much to keep up with user growth and zap growth.
Agreed on the benefits of scaling when it comes to zaps. Nonetheless most people who do zap, don’t zap enough. It may be a hard thing to hear but it’s reality.
When I asked for a whale zap, I was accused of begging. I was also told to post better content. I can’t win for losing. 🤷♀️
That does sound like begging though 🤷♂️😅
What makes it begging? Pleading for a whale zap? I was actually being facetious.
Oh, well you didn’t say you were being facetious. Lol.
I’ve been on here for 7 months. And pointed out the hypocrisy of all of this. I think it’s actually funny.
Confirmed. Setting zaps to warp 2
