It's worth a shot. People on nostr ignorant of bitcoin immediately wanted to get zapped sats without really knowing what they were. Same thing happened on fountain with non bitcoin podcasters.

I see zaps as a Trojan horse... the end user could "think" it's a token/paper/point/etc but they get BTC, and they can use it.

I'm sure it's not that simple, but I do remember listening to podcasts where the hosts encouraged people to boost their episode when it was clear they had no idea what bitcoin was.

I bet if there'd have been a marketing team behind Bitcoin they'd have been on this from the first day of Lightning.
My guess is that they'd find that their subjects enjoyed the idea of 'zapped' as it made them feel like being a kid again.
The Ad department would definitely be loving this.
