Well.. I think it's kind an inevitable problem as #bitcoin is uncensorable itself, and zaps also as they just are a lightning transaction, so you are exposed to them the moment you publish on your profile you lightning address. Knowing that anyone from anywhere can send you ads as "zap". Like of someone knows your onchain address, how can you avoid him to send you a btc transaction with an Advertisement as note?

No question that anyone can send me a zap, I'm just curious of anyone is thinking about whether they should. If someone sends me a zap, I usually try to track back which post or comment they are responding to. I've gotten many zaps into my wallet that don't seem to be coming from appreciation for something I said or posted, and I have not known what to do with those. I usually end up ignoring them, but now I guess it might mean that they're zapping me at random for some kind of zapad? Ok, thanks, whatever, <shrug>.
