If value for value #v4v is legit, then the content creator is acting out of need to create, and zapping is a personal reaction.

The way zaps are displayed and promoted, v4v is in danger of being a jumping on the bandwagon gimmick.

Seeing a mega sats count for a post puts me off zapping. The post has been validated, well done, moving on.

I get the validation value of seeing a high paid post, so I'm not dissing the concept of zapping, but displaying how many #sats are received for a post is rather vulgar, nouveau riche.

Why not display number of zaps and not the value? This also adds to #privacy

Contrarían view from someone finding their way.

Go even further. The number can be off putting too. Make it only display zaps as "a few" / "medium zappage" / "holy zapparoni" and color code the text. Also why TF is zapping not always anonymous by default?

you know why zapping is not default anon lol

i probably should make mine anon but i rarely send much to anyone, just sometimes someone really puts some serious jazz into my world and i drop a 10k+ on them as a thanks

idk whether it's good or bad to make that public, it probably would be better if it was only visible to the recipient

So a burner nostr account for zapping would overcome one side of the privacy issue.
