Amounts & number of zaps are available on nostr.build, primal & Nostrudel already. But is that a good metric?
Are people who create content supposed to zap it all back, or do they deserve the zaps they get?
Do zap4follow scammers benefit the community, as would be indicated by a high amount of zaps out?
Are people who zap anonymously scammers?
Plus it's trivial easy to make multiple npubs and zap back and forth to game the numbers.
Going by this measure alone I might be considered a grifter, with 1.5M sats received and 400k sent. I have also been here for 2 years, making original content, helping other users, and funding projects like nostr.build that aren't reflected in these stats.
