 Maybe. It makes it look like I'm making a bunch of money on all of this, when I've been losing money.
That might discourage people from zapping me, so it seems malicious.

 There's bugs so it might not be. I've been  testing automated lightning payments since 2022. I'm having a difficult time with highlighter, but these zaps are not me.

 I think many nostr devs underestimate the importance of balancing the zap economy because they think in abundance. There's this assumption that as nostr grows it will have money dumped into it like Facebook or YouTube except the money will go to the people instead of a corporation.

People need to wake up and realize the deep state printing money to propagandize through Facebook and YouTube in a desperate oil-starved economy probably aren't gonna suddenly do wealth redistribution through nostr adoption.

It's on us nostriches to fight against becoming another lopsided parasocial thing where few get rich and the many follow the few.

 Yeah, or the software project gets bought by Microsoft or one of the FANGs. Like GitHub did.
