Yes - zap split/other mechanism designed to reward the meme creator.
The thought was sparked by Pubkey’s corndalorian framed meme.
Corndalorian can be zapped by someone in person. Maybe the physical space/pubkey gets a portion as well. Some mechanism leads to a nostr discussion of the OP.
Specifically on NIP-96 - is there consensus, or criticism of this approach?
Many clients support NIP 96. It's just a standard way to upload images/videos based on the hash of the content. Nostr.build and nostrcheck.me also support it.
Then, to make this work, we create a NIP94 to define the owner of the image and add the appropriate zap split as defined in NIP 57. When people reuse the image, we can search for the NIP-94, get the zap split and pay the owner directly.
