A lot of what makes Nostr great is experimentation. Damus has brought a lot of new innovation and change by moving fast and breaking things.
One risk with Damus as the largest app, is it can overly influence network changes that may be bad long term (behaviours, or inefficient NIPs, or whatever), but are great short term experiments.
Value for value is a developing area for individuals, and that’s great. Lots of benefits to individuals having fewer middlemen, more control and the ability to diversify their income easily - single income mindset drives economic inequality (not saying working 2+ full time jobs is better either). I’m deriving V4V here as ‘pay what you want’ effectively.
Business however will struggle to adopt a V4V approach, as V4V is missing a key free market analog - setting a market price. Same as Apple prices is lowest product to baseline it’s more popular and higher costs products; without a instant gauge on what the seller is willing to price something at, the buyer has no idea how much is fair to pay. Other reasons like businesses recurring costs, salaries, etc, but even ignoring them, V4V has a fundamental problem.
And in terms of reactions not having value in comparison to zaps.. here was what I wrote earlier. I think it’s rubbish, and an extension of a tipping culture ideology, where unless you financially transact, it has no value.
The best counter point is simple manners - you don’t tip $0.01 instead of saying thank you to a cashier.
