I think zaps being so prominent in nearly any usable client is a massive mistake. This would have been easier to implement in any centralized software — a PayPal or whatever tipping button on every post. But it wasn’t, because it obviously doesn’t pass the A/B test of client UX. Most people who use any social media service do not go around sending money to the people they follow, or expect to get paid for posting.

yet some apps like Twitch make paid subscriptions a core feature.
Yeah, and Ebay makes paying money a core feature as well, that doesn't mean that a microblogging platform should push for interactions and relationships to be transactional.
Not mine! This is Amethyst.
