I think the two of you experience nostr in different ways.
a small product seller just starting out on nostr is going to want to amass as many followers as possible because they turn into potential sales. They can afford to publish content and interact with followers without an expectation of value in return because they have the capacity to handle it all.
An established developer is gonna have a much different experience. He makes a post about Amber and gets 60 replies. One user asks what it is and he answers succintly. The user zaps him 500 sats for the answer. Another user asks a question that requires a thoughtful response, Vitor spends time to write an answer and gets no zaps.
Its supply and demand for time and attention. It would be very useful for users to know which of their followers appreciate the content and interaction they provide so they can manage their limited capacity. Everyone's capacity is different because nostr means different things to different people.
I'd be interested in knowing which of my followers do or don't zap me. A no zapper that's filling up my notifications page with demands on my attention and time is not going to get my focus compared to a person who appreciates my time and contributions with monetary value.
