The answer is: Tipping is overdone and annoying. I don’t give a friend $1 when they say something I like. Or If I want to repeat what they said to my friends. Tipping was a great ‘24 fad, we tried it, we had fun, and it’s time to move on. … Unless one of the founders of the several tipping products can prove to me that tipping is really important. I’m open to discussion.

Tipping is one form factor of micro payments. It just opens the door to other micro transaction use cases I’m bullish on @noiceapp after meeting the founders today.

hopped in the comments to say this lol but yes, tipping is just one of many microtransactions noice will enable even tipping on its own has been a powerful token distribution flywheel, i’ve sent out over $1,000 worth of $noice on farcaster this past month with tips and i don't mind sending even a cent of it because it all went to people i’d want in the noice community. it's a great way to spread your belief - in a project, a meme, or a community

@atown @div microtransactions make a lot of sense to me, and I see how tipping gets us to more use cases for microtransactions. Like @superfluid money streaming makes a lot of sense to me. Tipping, to me, doesn’t really solve a problem. I can send people money on Venmo. I can send them via the pay button on FC. I can send them some $DICKBUTT on @rainbow if they’re a hooligan.

I can agree that tipping doesn’t solve a problem but just creates a new form factor for passive support and incentives emgagement But sometimes it takes stupid dumb uses cases for a new primitive to land and that opens up people’s closed mental doors to the point that new use cases *emerge*

you can’t send money to everyone you’re appreciating out here it just takes too much time and there are very few of the things you’d want to tip more significant amount, in which case you can use whatever method you mentioned etc
