Noise for both recipient and readers.

Before tipping was common, replies usually added value to casts.

Tips can show appreciation but low value tips (subjective, but arguably in the fractions of pennies) aren't meaningfully worth anything. Add the complexity price tracking 5+ tipping coins and it feels spammy.

re: tipping as spammy

Most people "tip" with replies because
- it's not coming out of their pocket; it's from a (marketing) allocation for a token to gain attention
- use it or lose it mechanics that create urgency (and drive action)
- the price of the token is purely speculative

Tipping with Warps is the opposite of all of these and (imo) has the best UX bar none because when receiving it feels the most intentional and honest.

Getting tipped in 4-5 digit degen still feels good because it's perceivably "valuable" as long as the price of degen holds until claiming day.

Getting tipped in other tokens I don't follow feels like a cheap flyer being dropped on my cast that others may see. I don't even know how to claim these tips and I can't be bothered to check unless the price somehow skyrockets (it won't)

100% agree

I really can’t comprehend how someone could ever say that tipping is NEVER spam 😅

Would be interesting if tipping tokens were forced to use cast actions to tip. Unfortunately that would probably just lead to less people tipping and people just stating what they tipped instead

Often sleep deprived. Frequently incoherent. Perpetually average.

tipping is always partly performative, IRL and URL
