Zaps shouldn't be used for ranking until they can fix some of the easily exploitable things.
If we are using zaps to measure quality and value of a post to show users. I can easily spin up an alt and tip my own note at very low cost to myself. A few sats in routing fees..
It's not special to nostr or zaps. Any system that has the ease of entry and acct creation like nostr has/will face similar issues.
I have faith these brainiacs figure something out.
Just my 2 sats.
Zaps are cool, but they can, in their current state, be gamed.
