Ads are an example of unsought incentives as are all kinds of emotional manipulation tactics, prompt for “dark psychology”.

Hmm, that's a really interesting way of thinking about it. I would call all of those examples "manipulation" rather than an incentive, but I think I can understand your usage. Do you think unsought incentives on Nostr are good? For example, suppose that Subway gave lots of sats to someone who said "I'm going to Subway with my friends right now!" Do you think that would make third parties more interested in eating at Subway against their intentions? And do you think such a zap would be good even if it did?
