v4v is a rebrand of tipping/busking. I'm just riffing but ...
- Tipping works in American restaurants because it's culturally/socially enforced.
- Busking works because there's a captive audience, you make explicit asks, there's scarce entertainment on a sidewalk, and it's understood that this how the person makes a living
Posting online alongside millions of other people that do it for status and other externalities doesn't appear to have what I think makes busking work.
Generally, bitcoin culture is anti-spending and therefore anti-tipping. I think bitcoiners have taken this to an extreme place to prove a point (ie earning money without extremely hard work is fiat), but I don't see that changing soon.
If SN does this better, it's because you can make money here by spending money here. It's more like a prediction market than it is tipping.

keep "selling SN" as a milking cow and you will end up dry...
you will remember my words someday.

why don't you start your own version of SN?
you have enough sycophants and boot lickers who will follow you and blow you and give you hand jobs

couldnt anything with zaps be seen as a milking cow though? like reddit doesn't have zaps, but even there we have karma milkers

when you will earn sats for your regular work you will understand what I mean by "pay to post"...
Until then veeeery few people will get it. 99,9% of people are still trapped into fiat mindset. Will take at least another decade until they will get it.
Meanwhile ... I am far ahead of them.
