Something similar happened today. There was a meeting about building a new feature. The business and technical teams were so positive and keep on going in the happy path. Until I asked a very fundamental question to establish we are indeed going in the right direction. Done. Now, things looked different. There were more holes in the premise than the requirements! It started with pointing fingers and crescendoed into a pandemonium! In fact, I asked only one question, say around 5 words in the whole meeting.

What I understood from my short stint here is, using or not using zap is up to you. But if you 'feel' like incentivising a content, you can do that directly rather than a big brother coordinating it for the "zapper" and the "zappee". I am drawing parallels to how YouTube incentivises it's content creators... Example: You need 4000 hours of viewership in last 365 days... Or you should have 1000 followers.
But in Nostr, those prerequisites aren't there. You see a good content, zap it, and the content creator is rewarded.
(You either watch ads in other platforms or pay a premium. Either ways you are contributing financially to a big corp)

Sorry, if I ask too many questions. While I am excited, I am trying to digest the new ways of social networking at the same time.

As a newbie to this ecosystem, here is my doubt - How does Nostr battle one of the biggest issues in existing social networking platforms - Misinformation/Disinformation?

What a way to start a weekend!! Started with watching #Rekhachithram on #SonyLiv. If Crime is a universal language, detection is the universal decoder!!

This too shall pass! I hope it's just a gas trouble.

Best part of Nostr is, I don't have to read tweets from Elon Musk.
It's not about politics. It's about narcissism.
