while I see the point and for sure also think that we need to use known language I very much agree with @kr and I dislike paying. Just because a transfer of value is involved I don't think it is a "payment" It should not feel like a payment and not like the typical payment (buyer vs. seller) relationship.

I want to support an artist, I want to upvote a comment, I want to say thank you, ... "boost" seems to be neutral, universal, positive to me... and it's picking up.

(funnily enough just today: I had started the conversation in Alby to change "send sats" to "boost" when Alby detects some tipping details on Twitter, YouTube, etc. - should we? )
