People aren't zapping because they want to get more followers. I don't care if Derek follows me back, I'm going to zap him either way, he's a good guy, he has good takes, he puts work and effort into improving nostr, especially the welcomings to new users. Pretty much the opposite of zap farmers like corndalorian that the primal app suggests to every new user. I wouldn't know about corndalorian if I didn't use primal to make my account. I would know Derek either way, he actually talks to people like a normal human being and doesn't have some fucked up god complex.
