It’s another form of begging. I end up muting beggars. Very little value offered, nothing interesting, just begging. Seems the trend is to get an npub, act cool for a bit, then dial up the begging. Then it’s all beg all the time. Maybe it’s not intentional, maybe it just clicks how the zaps work after a short time.

I think most have said on here many times in many ways that follows don’t matter, as in the amount of follows. Some don’t get this. They build up a following then switch up to begging or influencing… whatever they were not at the start.

There’s still a “get followers” mentality left over from traditional platforms.

Amount of followers being low either means you’re new or you just suck 🤷‍♀️ I get why people want lots of followers. But it’s cool to have them organically from building community rather than having them just from being “nostr elite” 😉
