It’s interesting that throughout my journey on Nostr, I’ve learned more about human behavior than about technology itself.

We already understand how follows and likes work—they tap into the human psyche, fueling validation and attention-seeking. But I find that Zaps are a particularly useful tool, not just because they can be profitable, and kinda a circular economy but because they also give you a sense of how much people genuinely appreciate you.

The “zap” phenomenon is revealing. It shows who truly connects with and supports you, and the amount of Sats sent reflects how much they resonate with either you or what you’re posting.

If someone follows you but never zaps, they’re likely just passive viewers—maybe even low-key haters, sticking around out of morbid curiosity.

Speaking for myself sometimes I’d like to zap but there’s a little bit of “I’d like to zap, say, 100 sats as a token of appreciation but I’ll rather zap nothing because 100 sats is really nothing” kinda thought.

I know it’s a “wrong” thought but it can feel awkward at times putting value to a note, a suggestion, a little insight received etc.
