I just wanted to reiterate, because you probably think I’m cheap, lol. My issue isn’t with whether or not someone zaps, it’s the feeling that you need to zap someone, especially if they have already been zapped by others. That is either saying that you didn’t find value in what they said or you’re just too cheap to zap them and neither is true.

Another example, if a couple people ask the same question of one individual and one zaps, say, 50sats and the other just sends the default 21, how do you think that makes that person look to the person who gave the information? It creates unnecessarily uncomfortable situations.

I’ve said this half a dozen times, zapping should only be available through your profile and only you should see who sent what. That doesn’t eliminate the feeling the person giving information gets from you, but it will make the people zapping you feel less obligated.

A real world example would be watching a street performer strum away on a guitar with his/her guitar case open for donations, if you find value in his/her music. Now, imagine if every person announced what they were giving you, that puts pressure on those around you who may or may not want to donate, to match what you gave, lest they be portrayed as a cheapskate to those around them.
