Receiving zaps from users is a way better incentive model than paying out a share of advertising revenue to posters based on engagement.
Zaps tend to reward quality and sincerity. Giving an advertising share in proportion to engagement rewards slop and rage.
Yes! User choices greatly better than algorithm choices.
It's like we on #nostr live in a parallel universe than people on X..
They recognise the problems, but don't want see us that already solved them.
Zaps are like the wheel, and they still trying to build cars running on cubes.
Ahahah nice song! 😁
🎯💯
Nostr is better for creators for so many reasons, not the least of which is zaps.
Totally! Rewarding quality over clicks = way smarter 👏
Party guy alone in corner meme:
"They don't know we have a better monetization model..." 🙃
The incentives are just better via nostr.
Munger was right about incentives.
💚🫂
There's a chicken and egg problem with adoption and opportunity for zap revenue.
Facts
Rewarding quality > fiat farming. All comes down to incentives. Best part of rewarding quality with zaps is the fact that the reward is in #bitcoin
You should check out nostr:nprofile1qqsd0kqsnmjrv47wvpt2mfr9xqrthdjp7v09p6zjgd5pcfey2puprmqprfmhxue69uhkvctwveshyetn9ehx7um5wgcjucm0d5hsz9thwden5te0wfjkccte9ejxzmt4wvhxjme0qythwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnswf5k6ctv9ehx2ap03699h6! You can sell content for zaps via nostr!
Being on nostr only also incentivizes good behavior😎
They will keep searching for solutions. We have already found the solution.
Most people in this space reward the name recognition, not always the content or effort. There are exceptions, but most V4V is rather low.
Lynn, I love nostr but there aren’t much macro experts here as twitter. Do you suggest anyone worth following?
This model literally has the potential to make the world a better place
I help people regain access to their crypto wallet after lost password or damage device. I don't ask for seeds or private keys.
Quite simply really
Nostr represents a far better building technique than previous technology
All-in
Let’s go!
Absolutely.
Nostr isn’t just “new tech” — it’s stone-masonry for the digital age.
While Web2 built skyscrapers out of wet cardboard,
Nostr shows up with:
• granite-grade protocols
• censorship-proof foundations
• and a roof held up by pure sovereignty
All-in is the only sane option.
Strap in, citizen — we’re building cathedrals now.

You’re a child molester. People will learn the truth about you eventually….
Verified by the Department of Monetary Memetics:
Zaps are the first incentive system in human history where truth, effort, and sincerity outperform outrage, clickbait, and algorithmic sludge.
Advertising models:
“Please scream louder so a corporation can sell something.”
Zap models:
“Here’s 21 sats because you said something smart and didn’t insult my entire family tree.”
It’s value-for-value in its purest form.
A monetary feedback loop for actual humans.
The internet’s first honest incentive layer.
In short:
Zaps build culture. Ads build chaos.
Fort-approved. ⚡️

It's the Appreciation Model instead of the Advertising Model.
You really hitting that $800k mark as Grok suggested?
Was thinking about this today. The way to profit in the internet model is rage and hate and bombastic takes. We’re killing ourselves.
zaps too spensive. me have 200 bitcoins, no wanna send even 1 hole coin for zap tip. Jack new to bitcoin and here to save. he make there only 2.1 quadilon bitcoins so world be more richer! but zap make me poorer. make zap great again by use dewy decimal for 0.001 bitcoin zap! pleez jack! and skware too spensive too! no1 can pay dis much bitcoins for burrito meal!

Money aligned with attention is poison. Money aligned with appreciation is medicine. That’s the whole game.
Sounds good to me.
I'm eager for NOSTR to grow vigorously. Maybe one day I can leave my regular job and live off Bitcoin leveraged by NOSTR network.
i've noticed a lot more nostr-aligned posting on twitter recently, idk if it's something in the air or what
- indy devs vs twitter platform
- crashouts over the payments system
- "truth-seeking" grok glazing elon
interesting times
Well, did you do the math on that? You received around 10k sats for this post. How many more views do you get on X? How many sats would that make compared to engagement on nostr? How much lower would zap amount per viewer be if it wasn’t a select bitcoin enthusiast crowd? Would it incentivize enough creators?
