It seems now that the longer a person is on Nostr, the less they zap. Like Newbies are zapping a lot, but I don't really see any OGs zapping anymore.

We can just zap posts we like and if it comes back great 🧡
Many OGs were using WoS and now don’t have any easy (enough) option for zapping. I’m in the same boat but working on getting a self hosted lightning wallet going
Not an OG, but I have some days where I zap more and some days where I engage more. I tried to get everyone that helped when I asked about bras the other day 🤷♀️. Maybe they're doing similar with the influx of new users? Or maybe the shiny has worn off?
What is the purpose of #nostr? To expect zap handouts? To receive value for value? Decentralized and uncensorsble access to information?
Devils advocate here, not a callout, but one could imagine OGs have given much and received little.
I am down for the circular economy but many stack to well…stack.
If you have little, you have little to give. Zaps should be like magic. Greatly appreciated but never expected.
Nostr, even without zaps, is a blessing. The fact we can receive instant magic internet money is only a boon to the incredible tool and space we share here.
That aside, may your zaps be bountiful, fren 🧡

i monitor zaps all day long and i disagree
Seems to still be pretty active to me.
Just look at nostr:npub18l3fyx3rtak2x2hnhqp50nyykszpycumff432kwtp3975qgnp7uq3qza55. It’s pretty much all people that have been here a while.
Literally zapped so much that I had to set a budget.
