Exactly, another problem that is included in:
Suddenly having zaps that are excluded from fees basically impacts everything to some degree.
But the code for such feeless zaps could also be used to fix pools on SN. I think pools on SN don't care about participating in ranking anyway.
edit: I realized I didn't answer the question: No, they wouldn't receive territory revenue from such zaps if we really want 100% to go to the recipient. What zen mode means could be adapted to only opt-out of rewards and ranking though but still pay a fee to founders with which they can allocate to rewards or themselves.
It’s interesting because I used to use zaps and rewards as a way to cover the prize pool shortage due to fees on buy in zaps, but that’s not feasible anymore since you guys went to 30% (as an aside I think you should try 20, imo 30 is too high- although the extra territory revenue is nice). So now we are doing payment by invoice outside of SN.

Maybe rendering lightning invoices in comments would already work well enough within SN for you. Pasting a lightning invoice is essentially an opt-in to allow stackers to opt-out of ranking and rewards, lol. And with BOLT12 it can be a full replacement of the zap button since regular BOLT11 lightning invoices can only be paid once.
