With respect to the good cause, we have to stay conscious. ❗ Zap-for-reaction is poison for Nostr because it turns likes and comments from honest signals into paid behavior — which is worse than legacy pay-for-reach, where reactions could at least remain voluntary, even for paid content.

We need to stay true to organic interactions. That’s the soul of Nostr and the reason it exists. Especially when the cause is good, we should trust that people will zap voluntarily.

If we stop trusting that and fall back to legacy-style payoffs, we don’t just lose a tactic — we lose what makes Nostr, Nostr.
