Patreon, Venmo, Paypal, Cash Money, none of them publicly advertise who sent what and how much. As far as I can tell, the only reason people argue against fixing zaps is that they don't want to DO THE WORK, or they enjoy the power of this information. I send plenty of lightning, and I don't record it in a zap. Large zaps are usually v4v, and none of that value exchange *needs to be public. Companies invested in zaps, don't want to heard this, because it's more work for them to fix it and less information they can sell or raise funds with.

Funny how they ignore these simple facts, this obvious market research, complain about how stingy bitcoiners are. Just continue to whine, stick with what isn't working, and be like, fukit, back to X and patreon and venmo. When devs burnout, this is all you get. Buncha arguments against doing WORK. I see it all the time.

Using bitcoin is not private. Using lightning is a step forward, and then two steps back when publishing a public zap.

Privacy is something many have become apathetic to. Just like social media. But this is nostr, we are here because we have not given up on things that we think are important despite all the headwinds.

As for monetary transactions and pseudo-privacy, look at how Venmo is used. How many people post a public facebook message "I sent my friend 1000$ for stuff!". They don't. Venmo started out like this, and realized people didn't want that. These aren't even bitcoiners. It's not even a privacy thing, it's just simple logic. When I give someone money, why would I announce it to the world if I don't have to? So that a company can boost their "stats"? All I care about is that my friend knows who sent it.
