Although I didn’t take the time to analyze actual zap metrics, anecdotally I did experience this on the receiving end last year when the iOS clients lost note zaps. There was a period of time when iOS clients removed note zaps and people hadn’t figured out the workarounds. I noticed an uptick in overall zaps received, and when note zaps began showing back up I noticed my zaps received decrease again. I discussed it somewhere at the time, not sure if that was on nostr or in a telegram group. Either way, it was noticeable enough a difference to catch my attention. I personally believe that approach is damaging to creators and others who are producing value. Of course everyone can spend the way they choose, and that includes zapping for the fun of it or to demonstrate to new users how it works. Different people value different things, but I believe it’s better to zap others according to what something is worth to me. If I go out to eat at a busy restaurant, I don’t think “wow this server already got a lot of tips tonight so I don’t need to tip them.” I tip them what their service was worth to me. Or a street performer with a bucket for tips. I don’t look at it and think “20 other people have dropped $1 each in there so I’m only going to tip a nickel.” If I liked it enough I’ll still tip $5 or whatever. Zaps are fun, and to that end ensuring that everyone gets a “fair share” makes sense, but it will mean that zaps only stay in the realm of being fun. If they’re to be used for serious economic activity, then what and who we zap ought to be based more on who/what is providing us with the value we want and whether we want them to continue doing so.
