Boo. The whole point is Zaps are supposed to replace that. The thing is, once Nostr gets to a certain size, Zaps will cause it to be self-reinforcing. XMeta can't duplicate this model. But it's a pure numbers game until then. Creators only need ~1% of people to pay for content, once numbers get to ~5 or 6 figures. If we even had Mastodon numbers it would be self-reinforcing.
