Zaps can do something that I thought wasn't possible before: it's more lucrative to actually generate good content than it is to scam people with stuff.
The smallest zap I've seen so far is 500 sats ($0.12). That's more than the CPM of many platforms. Posts from people like jb55 (npub1xts…kk5s) get much, much more than 1 zap per tweet.
It's easier to spam here than it is on other networks, but as more people move to paid relays, it becomes much much more expensive to do. Or, you can just write something cool and watch the money flows to your account. Which one seems cheaper?
