zaps incentives users to create good content

with the current Cowboy Credit system, some users wont bother to create 'good content' because most of the zaps they will get will be in a worthless shitcoin instead of real sats

That was a short quit.

Time will tell, but content quality seems up not down. We concluded somewhere in this thread that given the rapid decay of cowboy credits for spenders, the people unhappiest with this change are people who don't spend and are mostly here to extract so accumulate enough CCs to rage (while those of us that spend a lot end up with close to zero CCs ... I have 5 right now and I'm just engaging like normal).

So, I'd wager a counter-hypothesis that CCs encourage the most difficult to encourage positive behavior, spending, and the change will be net generative.

That was a short quit.

Giving feedback on the system/feature that made me quit doesn't invalidate my quitting.

I know. I was just saying hello in a playful way.

I knew lockdowns had become real when a previously silent window began "greeting" me across the best cool evening air.

What the fuck, town? That window had no evidence of humanity for so long I began liking the draft, and now you cast a pod unto the sacred weather with some bullshit "hey guys, today we're gonna talk about" slam
