That...makes sense since we're paying people for their content. I don't like it, but it does make sense, I guess, by our definition of Value for Value. Overall, this would be a win though, right? This keeps Damus in the App Store and gives you time to lobby Apple for a change or reconsideration to their policy to allow Zaps on notes.

Disagree… seems like the issue is that post zapping just makes it too easy if they are ok with profile zapping. If you repurposed the zap button to act like a profile zap would they be ok with that? Do they really just want you to press 2 extra buttons to accomplish the same thing? Makes no sense. What if you put a profile zap button next to the user’s picture/name above the note?
they probably see it like this: a post zap is payment for content, exchanging value for value. a profile zap is a tip or donation.
If that’s true then we should be able to profile zap you by one-tapping your name above the note. Perhaps you lose the zap tracking at the note level but retain one tap zapping
It’s a donation for content? I could see this being true if he had implemented the blur hash/paywall into Damus that requires a zap to see content, but that isn’t how onlyzaps works at all. I am not selling my content, I’m posting it and it is free to consume, and individuals are willingly donating to me because I’ve provided them value.
