polls are one use case, but it’s a pretty flexible widget they’ve built.

you can even do sats races so that the winning item is chosen when a certain funding goal is reached.

Ok, this makes much more sense. :) - I guess the word "poll" is a bit misleading.

New Lightning Use Case Unlocked: Embed Lightning-Powered Polls on Your Website

“opinion” might not be the best word here.

these polls give fans the ability to influence the direction of a creator’s work too.

imagine your favorite podcaster asks you (and all the other listeners) to suggest questions to ask a guest, and the question with the most sats wins.

fans get a new way to support creators, and it’s a much more exciting experience for fans than a flat monthly subscription with an automated “payment received” email.
