It is interesting to see some folks on Nostr who are all about the zaps/sats - attempting (yet again) to monetize their feed instead of helping others and “contributing” in kind to earn zaps from others. Meh, those folks will fade out quickly. Now if we could just stop the bots!!

I think there is value in people bringing attention to zaps even if they aren't "contributing" otherwise. It is a unique mode and needs to be emphasized so that those earning it get a better experience.
I don't miss the constant advertisements and people selling stuff all the time on legacy social media. Let's not bring those vibes here. It's ok to shill whatever you got going on now and then, but keep things focus on sharing/contributing and you'll get a lot farther IMO.
