Lol I’ve thought about this too. Too much dopamine then when their next posts don’t do anything they wonder what happened.
Still think it’s a net positive though and not “dumb as shit”.

Nope. A lot of the newbies are scam accounts looking for free zaps.
Proof of Value before any zapping. Fuck newbies. When I joined Nostr I was welcomed by confusion & people sending DM’s thinking they were posting (true story).
Figure it out. Provide value. Or fuck right off.
I appreciate this take.
Of course the newbie scam accounts is one thing.
When I onboard a friend, I want some stranger to zap them cause they can. Thoughts?
That’s different. Read my post again. I’m pro zaps. I’m anti newbie welcome zaps from a welcome committee bot or Nostr leader. That’s dumb as shit. Drives bad behavior.
Introducing your friend & then people zapping is not even close to what I meant.
Be better. Smarter.
