You already have freedom of choice. Don’t use a client with a forced zap split if you don’t like it that much.
Also, developers are not charities, and they can earn as much as they want from their apps including turning a large profit.

Dude i guess we have similar thoughts... read your note thinking mine was reposted lol
That’s not a choice, but ok. 🙄
You’re also making it more difficult than it needs to be. Offer a subscription and receive more features, like Damus, who has no problem using TestFlight builds as a perk rather than what it’s actually meant for. And let’s not forget their $3 hat that they want $50 dollars for.
Primal has a subscription option as well that offers extra features for those that choose to subscribe, like a premium relay, your own NIP-05 and lightning address. That’s probably the closest to a fair arrangement I have seen from clients asking for money. The user doesn’t feel extorted and the devs aren’t losing money.
Then you have projects like YakiHonne that put them all to shame. They’re not looking for profit or status, they do it because they truly want to offer a product to their users that makes them happy.
The bottom line, these devs have already figured out how to monetize their work, they don’t need any more half assed suggestions.
