it literally is the second sentence that I wrote 😅

Yes it is, but that was an afterthought and your overall point is that boosting is better. I disagree. Zapping is better. Boosting is second. Especially for the creator who is truly trying to pay the bills. One hundred boosts have the same monetary value as zero boosts. It is only zaps that truly sends value back to the person from whom you received value.
Of course getting zapped is good for the short term. It is immediate value to the creator. I'm not arguing against that
a creator who is looking for pay the bills should focus on creating content that is valuable enough to get paid right now AND to get endorsed so that it reaches even more people that will pay them in the long term.
one hundred boosts doesn't have the same monetary value of zero boosts. when the visibility of a post expands to more people, the potential of it getting zapped increases. there's no guarantee, but it is some amount greater than if the post was not boosted at all. boosting doesn't exist in a vacuum where zapping doesnt occur.
we're on the same page here and I appreciate your insights.
My two sats, I repost for my community to see. It is not an endorsement. I do it for exposure it's value is in the air.
Zap me and you have my attention
We're not on the same page. Lol. Please don't attempt to change what I'm saying. I disagree with you about the value of boosts. They are not completely lacking in value as they increase visibility, but they are inferior to zaps. And no, they do not have monetary value, despite the fact that may increase visibility of a post, although that's not always necessarily the case (some clients hide boosts). We disagree, and that's ok. But we are not on the same page.
