You’re missing what I’m saying. If you need people to donate to support it, just say that. That’s similar to how V4V works. If you don’t care whether people donate, then posting about how much you are spending is pointless and self serving. Feigning martyrdom.

I like to zap but I dislike people begging for sats or posting invoices. It's really that simple.
Posting invoices is the worst 🤣 If someone is providing a service and occasionally posts about costs and encourages people to support it if they like it or use it, I think that’s perfectly reasonable. The posting about how much it cost you to run things and explicitly saying you don’t ask for donations for it is totally self-serving and trying to make yourself look good in front of others. It’s bullshit. No need to brag about how gracious you are in front of people.
