in a perfect world i totally agree with you but i believe community growth needs to be incentivised somehow. in my opinion social media "relationships" are mostly one-sided. as in many people on here know @jack, but jack knows only a handful. my argument is that for the nostr community to grow, you need many more large accounts to advocate for and use nostr. then people follow them to a new platform (or protocol); and whether this is good or bad, monetary incentives for creators are important - which could be zaps here. if the goal is to grow nostr, i am not sure how else to achieve that.
