I agree completely. I think it will be interesting to see what social media could look like if / when the incentives change from monetizing user attention to monetizing value brought to the user re: zaps.

I think you could end up seeing more thoughtful and longform posts that go a little deeper than is currently the norm and are more constructive in envisioning a positive future rather than emotional reactions to the current event.

I could also see the focus shifting from current events back to the personal interests, community building, and collaboration which would be cool too.
