I think it’s because people think giving pure cash is thoughtless and basic. If you give a gift card for that persons favorite restaurant, then it feels more personable.

Do you guys feel like the federation hurts Lemmy?
Like I see its benefits, but for an average user, the feel of Lemmy as an app is less intuitive than reddit
Why wouldn’t it all best just considered salt water then?
