What if I do not want my account susceptible to any “business”advertising under my notes? Zapvertisements should be opt in. Lets say, for example, someone is selling illegal drugs and to get a wider reach they begin zapvertising, now I have a photo of illegal drugs attached to my post that (I think) I can’t get rid of.

A potential solution - gaming the system by setting the floor. Because only the top zap shows, a user can zap themselves a ton of sats, setting a floor that zapvertisers will have to cross in order for their zap to show.

It would be nice if it was not only optional for the ads to show under your note, but to actually set a floor price in settings. i.e., “zaps will only show on notes if over _____ sats”

This would help eliminate spam zapvertisements, and gives the user more control over what is shown on their post and how much they think they should be getting paid for someone else advertising on their note

Hi!

Ya know… you can always mute the person right? Where are all these zapertisements? Is this a new thing? Something being developed?

Oh! And here’s a picture of some magic mushrooms! 🍄

Yeah, are illegal drugs pictures ok in the comments?

Yeah I don’t actually care that much, it was just a hypothetical.

I think you're touching on a good point about advertising in general. As nostr grows and becomes a larger audience it is going to attract all sorts of crap.

At the end of the day it's not up to you how people interact with your post. It will come down to what other users choose to allow show up in their own feed. There will be some clients that will filter out advertisements and other content and some that don't. People who don't want to see ads for drugs will choose the ones with filters that block them. People that do want drug ads will choose other clients, and you shouldn't be worried about what they see because that is their choice.

Pssst… DM me if you want some shrooms. 😂

Muting doesn’t prevent everyone else from seeing it, only yourself.

Zapvertisements refer to the top zap on a note appearing as the first comment under the note, which is a new feature in Damus testflight. So someone can zap a note with an image or anything attached and have it appear under someone’s note as the first comment kind of like an ad. Anytime someone opens a note to read the comments, the first thing they’ll see is the Zapvertisements

I see. Thanks for the info!

It’ll be interesting to see how nostr evolves

That’s a great little hack 🤙

The floor has been set for #Zapvertising on yesterdays Nostr Report “THE FEAST”

As a zapvertiser myself I agree with this.
