Algorithmic feeds that give weightage to zaps in addition to reshares and likes to rank and curate content.

That would promote discoverability and incentivise people to post more on Nostr versus other platforms as it means not only more eyeballs, but also more sats.

I'm not sure valuing "zaps" as a metric would achieve the goal of reducing the percentage of Bitcoin-related content, since the ones using Bitcoins are also the ones zapping and getting zapped. This seem like it would just make the problem worse.

Perhaps, yeah.

Algorithmic feeds was what I was pitching. Different clients could implement them in different ways and compete with each other. I'd personally gravitate towards the one that values zaps as a metric.

People can zap themselves so that metric is a bit useless.

Yeah you're right. I always hit that roadblock when I try to make a case for zap-based content curation.

Is there no workaround to it?

There may not be any workaround based on popularity, but that is not to say there can't be a way to show interesting content to the user.
