For me as long as no one can fake zaps to me then I can use zaps to securely filter notes from others which is what I was thinking about here

Isn't this still vulnerable to Sybil attack (outside of lightning fees)?
What do you mean ?
That someone could create multiple accounts and send zaps between them to impersonate "realness". That's not an issue too for zaps directed at you or people you know are real, but for filtering a feed in general based on zaps it still seems like it'd be vulnerable.
They can zap wash all they want, it is not relevant to what I’m talking about here. I’m referring to using zaps *to you* to filter content from the outside world. Zap washing and fake zaps are only relevant when you want to start using zaps for algos, which I think would be really flawed unless it incorporated a trust graph of some kind.
Yep totally agree with you here then. I for one am ready to replace email entirely with Zapped messages.
I think it's also useful to have trusted verification services that receive zaps, could even be your own auth service that account pay in to once in order to show up on your feed or w/e. Just spitballing here, but in general agree.
I agree but also we should be wary of creating a “trust graph” because it would probably end up with “trusted” zap servers which would disincentive people from running their own servers
