Bots usually don't get zaps as zaps are a very conscious action, but also: if the bot is useful in terms of curation and surfacing interesting content, wouldn't the bot (its author) deserve it?

Any of the #SovEng people have more thoughts on this? (I hope to publish some things I've said recently on this soon.)

The distinction between bots and humans doesn’t matter and caring about it is an old way of thinking. Are you getting value from whoever / whatever is on the other line?

By trying to solve this problem, you degrade an agent’s (human or otherwise) privacy.

If AI continues to improve you won’t be able to tell the difference anyway.

If you have to solve this problem for your app to work, you’re doing it wrong.

I'd agree with that. Bot lives matter.

Is this configured by the user or the reposter? Aren’t zaps splits defined on the note ?

That's the Amethyst zap splits, and yes, they're on the note. But you could make the repost-zap-splits configurable in the client, so I'd be zapper-preference.

You could even do bot detection and do a "don't zap bots" setting.

WoT + PoW + zaps = no bot

(not perfect of course, but you get what I mean)

Like the idea that users have a say in how this works and can cherry pick their settings.
