I want to be clear about my stance. I am not saying we should remove zaps. I actually think zaps are the killer feature of nostr. What I AM saying is that any client/app create don nostr has to stand on solid footing without zaps as a differentiator. It has to be better, cheaper, faster, whatever, in a significant way because switching costs and habit building is expensive. Zaps are just gravy on top.

I agree. Don't think relays are the issue. Convoluted subscription ones might add to the confusion. But is mainly painting ourselves into a orange corner a bit. I love Bitcoin and even get tired of 80% of notes I see about it.
very well said.
I meant same thing. Zaps are an integral part and should be celebrated like every other aspect of nostr.
What i meant was using apps is easier and faster for people but if nostr devs creates apps on ios, App store doesnt allow sending zaps which restricts devs from creating apps.
Also, very curious on other people’s view on making nostr faster. Is it even possible considering the open nature of nostr ecosystem and relying on multiple relays at a time to gather information about any event.
