Hey Derek, I previously tried using @ZapAdd with kind of marginal results. The guy suggested that maybe my account wasn't "warmed up" enough at that time.
Still, Zapadd only allows for me to zap a random group of popular tweets, but what I really wanted was to Zap people who specifically mentioned AI, or who follow other AI nostr accounts. No project thus far has built out a platform for doing that.
In addition to Zapadd, I've also zapped dozens of folks who mention AI in some form, but that is more of a manual process. I'd rather use an automated way!
Lastly, I've tried used satograms before as well!

hi. those things are essentially spam posts to random bitcoin wallets. they don't work. they are worthless, imo. Zapvertsing is very different.
find people talking about AI or related fields and Zap them on Nostr with a non-trivial amount and include links to your application, videos, etc.
send me 21 sats with a link? i won't notice. send me 2100 sats with a link? i will notice and probably check it out. find the amount that works for you.
FWIW I got more followers and engagement from this tweet than all the zapvertising / satograms I'd ever done before. Your idea of giving substantive money doesn't work as well because it gives people pure money with no strings attached instead of credit on my platform. I'd rather give them credit since it "dog foods" my app and I only lose it if they actually redeem the credit, unlike zapvertisements. Additionally, I have a bunch of free credits from cloud platform anyways to burn through so again giving away credit is the better option in this use case.
There are many more ideas I plan to employ using zaps and such, but just wanted to give you some real feedback on how it works in practice.
