Unfortunately this is also a quick way to get muted.

Sorry, I won't actually mute you but this is a thing some people do. I also don't on occasion tbh
*do it
Why would people mute?
Because it adds to 'spam', I know you're giving out zaps and not asking for them but it is treated as spam on the feed. There is also a suspicion people do this (not saying you specifically are doing this, just a sentiment) to farm more followers with a goal for more zaps long-term.
Since you litterly bribe people for getting reach without delivering any real value. This is why. Since most people know, that knowledable people will find their follow naturally. So accounts who buy follows already think of themselves to not being able to produce any real value...
I know nothing, I offer no value to nostr, yet people follow me just to see my suffer I suspect. There are other ways.
To follow your footsteps. Whilst blindfolded
It's refreshing to follow people on nostr who aren't either reciting bitcoin slogans or humble bragging about some software they're building
I'm building a nostr client in Microsoft Excel
I responded to one of those posts, once. And never again..
That's basically an auto mute for me, or at least an unfollow.
It usually is for me, but I can't do it after I quote posted. I already regret making the post lol. But it's true, and people should know the nostr meta.
