I've completely soured on zaps, as a concept, this week. I'm taking it out of my client. Only payment targets with messages, no zaps.
I am now left wondering why in the world we thought we needed to have zaps, at all. I can't think of any actual purpose for them.
It's like financially masturbating in public.
