The problem is that self-custodial lightning is too complicated for the average person. Custodial lightning wallets are imposing limits on transactions and balances that make them increasingly unusable for content creators. That relegates lighting zaps to a play thing and I think we see that in people’s behavior, zapping only 21 sats here, 10 sats there. It’s never going to be a serious competitor to other content platforms at that rate. Client UI can help people understand if sending a Liquid zap that a minimum amount of X is required. They can choose to send or not. I think it should be tried.
