The reason is because they never got support from other clients, mainly due to the other major client at the time, Damus, not implementing them.

It wouldn't matter now, because Damus is a minor client, one of many on iOS, and no longer the best option anyways. Yakihonne is better in every way, and has poll support.

Dude we have support. A bunch of us use Amethyst. None of us use polls. Using these retarded pay-to-win polls would be insulting to everyone reading my post.

The problem isn't the percentage of people who have access to polls. The problem is that polls turn what should be a genuine human interaction into a transaction.

Maybe instead of asking how many people have access to zap polls as a feature, you should be asking how many people have chosen not to connect a wallet to their account despite the fact that lightning support is practically ubiquitous?

You can make it a simple 1 sat to vote poll, it doesn't have to be pay to win. There are limits built into the nip and the implementation. A small payment is a perfect way to disincentivize spammers too. Free polls will be useless due to them

And you're plainly wrong. Being available in only one client is a huge issue that makes features non viable, use your head. If it's only working for a small number of users, it won't gain traction. We see this constantly on Nostr.

Just because you don't know how something works doesn't make it a bad idea 🤷‍♂️

Dude, you don't get it. 0 sats would be too many. A poll should not require people to get out their wallets. Period. It doesn't matter what they take out or don't take out of their wallets.

Tbh Nostr's spam issue is way overblown. The people who care most about it only care because they are looking for excuses to shove Bitcoin into everything. No offense if that describes you.

Again, it doesn't matter if it was available to everybody. I'm telling you it STILL wouldn't gain traction. And I have given specific reasons for this conclusion.
