I can certainly see the value of sending a zap to 'compensate' someone for screen space and time taken, but I really question whether doing that to random profiles. Something like that should absolutely be built into a search engine type app that operates on Nostr, which might be a specific feed where we type in what we are looking for and then have the ability to sort by zapped advertising so that when we click on a link to learn more it pays us a bit before we pay them if we choose to buy the product or service from them.

...question whether doing that to random profiles is the best way to catch the attention of existing nostr users who don't want to deal with advertising...
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?
