I'm hearing you and I 100% agree with you, but I also know that the average social media user won't do these things unless it all just works with zero friction. We need a happy medium here.

Entire sections of my family and friends think it’s retarded that we send half pennies to one another. I’ve been told “How is that different from just clicking like?”
Effectively, it isn’t.
Honestly the way we all used to swarm zap random waitresses and bartenders that someone talked into signing up for WoS was probably more effective at orange pilling someone because it added up to something substantial.
Pushing new users to feel like they need to sign up for zaps right off the rip, before they have had a chance to learn about BTC may be a mistake, and may contribute to the “crypto project” status Nostr has in some circles. Wouldn’t it be better to focus on new users finding people to follow and pick relays? Isn’t that enough to contend with?
Just thinking out loud.
If the goal is switching instagram or tik tok users client tools and upload sizes need to increase. Is making a video more important than sending a zap? Mutiny has a choose fedi option. Perhaps clients could offer a choose wallet section based on questions and have nwc integrate the choice.
I would say the goal is general onboarding, but if we want retention then we need content and being able to have creators paid is important.
