Zaps as a mechanism is potentially worse than Likes. You could argue in such an early stage of a social media it might cause topic/tone stagnation reinforcing bitcointwitterisms and further alienating anyone outside of that culture joining and staying, forced 'positivity', zapfarming etc etc.
It's also not impossible to imagine say someone or an organisation with enough funding and incentive to steer/nudge and monetarily incentize certain kinds of posts by zapping. Not saying this is the case ATM, cos nostr doesn't really have enough of a userbase maybe to do that.
(But as I've often said I think we are the guineapigs, the beta testers of this whole project lol. We're sort of yet to see a proper v4v social media scenario here.)
