I think first we should pay people for their time and attention.
In order for people to be more comfortable with the idea of giving up hard earned sats for a meme they genuinely enjoyed or a well constructed post such as this one, people must see their own time and attention as valuable in order to probably value other peoples time and effort.
A simple example would be to allow advertisers to directly advertise to target users, but instead of paying the platform with users to show ads for them, the advertiser has control over who is shown their ads and the money they would normal pay to the platform is instead paid out to the target users via zaps.
Users who engage with ads would be more likely to receive future ads, and ads would be more targeted to things you’re actually interested in.
This could extend beyond normal advertising and be used by influencers or just normal people who want to boost a particular post.
I think a system like this, along with the ability to zap content you think is worthy makes for a space that would have less free-riders and encourage a circular economy where everyone’s time is valued accordingly.
