No, zap receipts are published by a third party, not the sender, not the receiver. The LN node that receives the payment is the one that publishes it.

That makes sense. And also in the docs ( πŸ˜Άβ€πŸŒ«οΈπŸ˜Άβ€πŸŒ«οΈπŸ˜Άβ€πŸŒ«οΈ But in that case there is no way to 'guarantee' the existence of the zap as the third party could choose not to publish the zap receipt? An example: if there is a really good kind:1 note that gets a crazy amount of zaps but the receiving lightning node does not broadcast ZapReceipts there would be no way for the network/algorithm to know about the popularity of that note
