Being yourself is not rewarded, and for the most part, that is what people sick online nowadays.

But let’s make no mistake, thats our nature in the sense that if certain kinds of posts attracts more zaps, it will be a matter of time until others start mimicking.

Luckily #nostr doesn’t come with recommendation algo built it, and even if it eventually implements boosting to support users discoverability, it hopefully will not be built upon these economic metrics.

I don’t think you can use zaps to determine ranking - it’ll just be gamed.

But yeah certain types of post may get mimicked. Hard to say if they’ll do well long term though as people may notice the trend and disregard. It’s easy to hit like but zaps are proof of work.

Precisely. Just don’t be discouraged if many people tries to gamefy nostr and succeed, because that will most likely happen.

What I think it’s different is that here that shouldn’t have a negative impact on others and specially on the communities and conversations such as this.
