You are correct. All the downsides of zaps only arise when they are implemented and used. I don't understand why zaps are implemented and used. Why would I need a financial incentive to post my thoughts? And why would I want to read a person's thoughts if they are only posting them because they are being paid to?

Why do you assume the only reason a person would post notes is zaps if they exist? People's reasons for posting notes is multifaceted, and different from person to person. Have you ever tipped someone for good service? A zap is like a tip. Not expected, but a way of showing appreciation.

The people I talk with aren't performing a service, they are having a conversation. A waiter SHOULD change their behavior just to get more tips. They SHOULD need a financial incentive to perform a job. There is no authenticity to undermine because I am just there for service, not conversation. Quite unlike a Nostr discussion.
