Not a bad strategy actually. In this case we are the ‘little guy’. Another option could be ask Apple for nuances:
1. If Damus did say 30% of zaps did go to Apple but in that case, Apple would be paid in sats and would need to have LN acct as Damus is not in business of selling sats. Eg if you ask a squirrel 30% of what he got, it will give you nuts as it’s not in business of selling them
2. Ask how Apple treats Reddit flairs, badges and moons each time they are given out. This do have monetary value and similar to people giving each other those.
