Unpopular opinion: zaps have ruined the Nostr experience.

Way too many people came here looking for a way to monetize content instead of considering the true value proposition of Nostr – which is censorship resistance.

Yes, censorship resistant money is also cool. But it can create expectations that can’t be sustained and it might make people move back to Twitter because Elon added a monetization scheme that rewards creators.

It’s better to promote Nostr for what it does best: censorship resistance and friendliness to privacy.

Anyway, here’s a Supra girlfriend to distract you 😍

Zaps paved the way for a value for value economy and for kindness, love, and a wonderful vibe, because if you're a huge dick, you're not going to get Zapped.

Hive blockchain did the same, allowing anyone to monetize their content. Lbry blockchain also does it for videos.
