i think this requires a slight behavioral shift. people are here for different reasons. if zaps are used as an incentive in exchange for my attention, take it away, will there be more or less engagement?

before social media, there were hobbies and interest based communities that became very tight in message boards. less about the self promotion and randomness but more about a particular subject and that developed very strong connections.

in short, more interest based community building for better connections and communication.
