Does anyone else notice that there has been an increase in lightning network spam advertising lately? I don't want to call out any specific companies, but my node does receive these 1 sat message transactions fairly frequently. They don't really bother me, and a sat is a sat. I do wonder whether this may come to be seen as a viable way for advertisers to reach bitcoiners.

I rethought the whole thing since posting. I just signed up to receive ads from Satogram:

Agreed! Spam my node all day, thanks for the sats!
If there is a problem, it’s a UX issue. LN wallet visualizers should have a filter setting to hide tx under some specified threshold.

I see it a lot on the orange pill app.
1 sat zaps are kind of annoying. If its a company sending out 1 sat it makes me think that they don't believe much in the company if that's how they value my attention.
The again these 1 or 2 sat replies to post on SN I don't seem to get the same reaction.

I do not consider it a spam. They pay the fee, so they are entitled to send whatever they want.
Sometimes is good advertising, not always bullshit.

I do get those from time to time, but not that many, most of them come from Satogram. I wouldn't consider this as spam as they're paying me for it, I'd even say this is how advertisement should work, you want my attention, you pay me sats.

I only have ever noticed it coming from large exchange/wallet nodes.
Maybe if it increases it will create incentive for node runners not to connect to them. Not sure, at what point (if) it would get that bad.

I haven't noticed, but I also don't check all my transactions.
