I' ve seen a contaiment building first. #nuclear bias. ☢️
Zaps as a mechanism is potentially worse than Likes. You could argue in such an early stage of a social media it might cause topic/tone stagnation reinforcing bitcointwitterisms and further alienating anyone outside of that culture joining and staying, forced 'positivity', zapfarming etc etc. It's also not impossible to imagine say someone or an organisation with enough funding and incentive to steer/nudge and monetarily incentize certain kinds of posts by zapping. Not saying this is the case ATM, cos nostr doesn't really have enough of a userbase maybe to do that. (But as I've often said I think we are the guineapigs, the beta testers of this whole project lol. We're sort of yet to see a proper v4v social media scenario here.) https://image.nostr.build/eaeb7580045620b99a11c0f6413717f5f977beaf2bcb9173dafc0d8c75f73ed2.jpg nostr:nevent1qqs8q44xl954ztkx0e6jadms690pj36eu8fsm66uefst6jhe9z6suhcprdmhxue69uhhg6r9vehhyetnwshxummnw3erztnrdakj7q3qnjst6azswskk5gp3ns8r6nr8nj0qg65acu8gaa2u9yz7yszjxs9sxpqqqqqqzncnju6

The nostr meta is fairly easy to play, not that it wouldn't be obvious and it's not interesting to follow, but it works. It is arguably somewhat incentivised by zaps. There's ebegging, which is too obvious, but then there is ebegging with a nostr-acceptable veneer. nostr:nevent1qqs9x7dmsavkh3hx9pljyayy5meqvh4lncfyqavrj2xr6m46cmwwelspzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumt0wd68ytnsw43z7q3qnjst6azswskk5gp3ns8r6nr8nj0qg65acu8gaa2u9yz7yszjxs9sxpqqqqqqzh6hdsq But even taking away the zap mechanics, there is also the quite horrible situation of having to appeal to the tastes of large owners accounts. Maybe less bad for people who happen to think along the same lines as them, be it ideolocally or humour etc. Maybe there's not enough upward mobility on nostr lol. Further compounded by the onboarding recommendations. More followers = More good, more followers = more read receipts, more read receipts = trending, and even more exposure. Most accounts have followers because they're carrying over clout from bitcointwitter, or theyre nostr devs (I don't mind this one acceptable actually), or they got here early and/or been blessed by the aforementioned for aligning with them somehow. A lot of the time. Stagnation. Meanwhile there I have actually found some notable new accounts quietly getting on with posting interesting stuff and looking for interesting stuff. If I may.....
