We'll see an entirely new experience like never before. Well, maybe stacker.news, but stacker.news is a very niche and doesn't appeal to the masses. Nostr and Zaps have a chance to allow content creators to get paid for their content without a middle man with a click or tap of a button. It will be game changing once people experience it. Likes can be gamed as it stands now on Nostr. There's nothing stopping anyone from writing a bot and spamming likes on any note. Zaps will fix this. I believe we'll start to see a higher quality of notes too.

Also, zapping costs the zapper something. More meaningful than a like, for both sides

Finally a social protocol that truly incentives censorship resistance.

Feels like a new dawn for citizen journalism. Imagine getting paid for sharing exclusive information, reports or even risky yet crucial leaks. A small yet critical adjustment for the information space.

Talk is cheap. Put your money where your mouth is. There are reasons these sayings exist. It's even more true in cyberspace. Zaps back empty words with energy.
