I don't write for sats, never have never will. I do it to express my ideas, to educate, and to start meaningful discussions around my thoughts. If you'd like to show gratitude, give me your time and words. That's far more scarce to me than clicking a button to send a few sats and moving on.

Nice words, i agree, one having the others attention is the most precious thing. Your kids will ask for your time (and money later) but first and foremost time. U can have my time whenever u want..
Thanks! Especially on the internet everything is so shallow by design. The least someone can do IMO is say thanks instead of like/zap and move on, if they appreciated something.

Yeah there are lots of things in life competing for time and energy. If more understood this, they would take your stance. Though, fiat system incentives are hard to conquer.

Why not both? Everyone has a different way of showing gratitude for your work. Sats don’t sully your intent.
Would you call sat tipping to be fiat system incentives? I think it would just be high time preference mentally. Similar but I don't think they are mutually exclusive.
Because it is not something I want, I don't give that option. How much of the sat tipping behavior stems from people feeling that unless they sat tip, it is not expressing gratitude? There's lots of cultures out there that don't accept tips, for a variety of reasons. I feel like this is very much American fiat culture.
Maybe I answered my own question with this note lol. #[5]
I don’t see sending zaps on nostr as tipping. For example, your article from a few days was excellent. You have knowledge and experience which I don’t possess and you took the time to share that with me, and I don’t have enough knowledge to add to the conversation. I’d like to show you I appreciate the content so I would give you a like and sats.
If you don’t want to accept sats that’s your choice, but I don’t zap because I feel like I’m obligated to. I do it because I appreciate the time and effort someone put into their content.
😄 You remember Mr. Pink from Reservoir Dogs?
Totally, I ofc appreciate the gesture associated with zaps. What I'm getting at is a few words go beyond a few sats for me, and if it means a few more people say something instead of zapping because I don't have that turned on, that's worth the restriction.
I don't think I've seen it lol
I like what you're saying. Goes back to others actions vs own intent and how we see them. Essentially, don't judge others actions for we no not their intentions.
I agree with that. I too would much rather have a conversation with someone, but sometimes the content of a note doesn’t lend itself to that. I was only saying that you could have both. I don’t believe sats detract from people’s willingness to engage in a conversation.
Yes, that’s what I was thinking. Thank you.

Yeah totally. A difference in beliefs. My thesis is that it does while tying a monetary instrument into the equation.
Have you tried it both ways? If so, did you find that you had less engagement with zaps enabled?
I have not. To me it stems because human nature is lazy and will always pick the path of least resistance.
