I dont expect to make money, but it is important that my zapping wallet is self sustaining.

Interesting perspective
Is it more of “if money comes” I’m okay and if not I’m also okay?
Its more like i think sats zapped to me are a gift and I'm obligated to pay them forward rather than hoard them for myself so I zap freely.
If I didnt get any zaps I'd be buying sats for nostr and would ask myself "why aren't I saving these"? This would probably lead to me just lurking and interacting with other people very rarely.
I think zapping/getting zapped is a core part of the nostr experience but if it started to feel like I was paying a subscription I would enjoy nostr much less.
For what it's worth nostriches are great and make it really easy to be self sustaining sats wise.
