I appreciate the goal of boosting engagement and rewarding quality content, but I have some concerns regarding privacy and the focus on time spent.

  • Comment-based micro-zaps: Each comment you leave automatically triggers a small zap to the original post/comment. This promotes deeper discussions and rewards those who add value to conversations.
  • Reaction-based zapping: Users could use different emojis to express reactions, potentially tied to small zap amounts like appreciation, insightfulness, or even disagreement. This provides nuanced feedback for creators.
