I stopped zapping newcomers a while back. I think it’s the same reason why I lost interest in zapathons. Both have too much potential to be abused by scammers.

No doubt about it we’re setting them up for disappointment.

When our wave started on nostr, we were from twitter or some were new. We didn’t have a zapping committee in introductions. No weird expectations. And a lot of us are still here. Something to think about I guess

Absolutely. Or even were here before zaps when it was a bunch of invoices flying back and forth, lol. Probably a little scammery here and there with that, but in general it just seemed like a bunch of people playing with a new toy. We’re definitely well beyond those days now, though.

Definitely. Now when I see an invoice it’s 90% scammy behaviour and 10% npubs shitposting. It’s very easy to tell them apart. Please sir mi familia is getting old. That and hashtag zapathon on a Monday morning 😂

I used to zap 33 sats at a time, now that it's over 100k I zap 11. as it goes up my zaps will go down, but not necessarily in value, just quantity.
