Expecting a zap (over a like or other emoticon) because you put a lot of work in your post/meme is Marxist,

expecting zaps because you want to make a living from your posts is Keynesian,

If your work is really that (objectively) good, you trust the 'market' (Nostr users) to find (subjective) value in what you make and will zap you accordingly.

Nost users NOT using a lightning address on Nostr (removing possibility to zap) is more objective signal than someone sending a zap (which is subjective signal).

Now going a bit meta: I found value in the meme I link to this note, so I would like to zap the maker, but I had to find it in a search engine.

If you are able to keyword your memes in such a way that I can find it again, to use when I feel the need for it, I would zap for sure πŸ€”.

Because at that moment it does have objective value, which I want to subjectivly reciprocate.

If you make it easy searchable as a dev, with the option to "Zap to copy to note" it is also fully justified to take a % per use, because you created value for consumer(clarifying point the consumer wants to make to their audience) and creator of meme.

Feel free to fight me on my #NostrPhilosophy 😁 I might zap you.

😁 I used a bit more words to convey the same.

So that is what my wife meant with: "Try to be more succinct" πŸ€£πŸ˜…

I think I largely agree with you. The chaos of zapping is what makes it interesting. People zap people for posting quotes from other people that they may not even cite correctly. πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

Embrace the entropy! 🀣

That is the most interesting about V4V imm: it brings with it cognitive spending, or maybe aware consuming.

The payer is more mindful of the subjective value of the good/service offered.

Posting on Nostr is a bit like a street performance... You do it because you like doing it,... Sometimes you get a smile in return and sometimes a dime.

That Austrian definition of value is great, however I would be suspicious of it being subjective only... might always be both and actual value is on their equilibrium's sustainability (even if pleonasm); and so apart markets can also be understood as subjective since certain angles...

As for what is "signal", it might be reasonable make hand of what is a good "work of art" in aesthetics, those are, the ones that are true to themselves in the way that the mediation between the subjective (artist whatever intention) and the objective (artists whatever technique) has a logic on its own. That can't be faked in works of art, else are known as kitsch works (shitpost?), although within those there could also be works worth of appraisal even if measured with just a couple of sats. Philosophy aside, in everyday life the scam artists are called out wen whatever part of equilibrium gets exposed, for example in the objective "hello I like nostr" that turns sketchy wen followed right away by the subjectively suspicious "gib me zap", in those cases even objective and subjective are replaceable each other, logic all turned around fails to convene honesty on its own

Who knows maybe a folk "follow your hearth" is a valid answer to wen and how much zap, unless the post is objectively true alike "hey folks happened this I need x to reach y, zap asap plz" in which case accountability is reasonable to be summoned
