VC funded platforms have the privilege to provide free services until they can hold their customers hostage. If we are to defeat them we need a hybrid approach. Just like in a video game if things become pay to win people will leave eventually. Something along the lines of “pay to look cool” will be the answer.

Nice idea but without a central authority on coolness how do you demonstrate that you've paid?

Zaps you've received can be faked by paying yourself so it can't be that.

That’s a good point. Actually two good points.

Right now. I have no idea how to address that.
