I think there’s a misunderstanding about the difference between a zap and a boost. Until nostr starts to widely implement splits in the zap, boosts are superior. If you zap a band or podcast, all the sats go into one wallet. If you boost it from a podcast app, those sats are divided into all the wallets in the split. The guitarist, drummer and bassist each have their own wallet and don’t have to worry about splitting a common wallet like a zap does. There’s a fundamental difference in the underlying mechanism that is obscured when someone boosts a show from Fountain and it’s counted as a zap.
