I agree that more focus should be laid on the value a post/snap brings. The snaps are an easy way for new users and people who are reluctant to write longer posts to engage and get some quick rewards. Once they see the results, there is a chance they get used to it and stay.
Therefore e.g. I upvote the snap container posts as well as they are used to further incentivize snapping.

Btw noise cash is not a good example. Those tips were only funded from a kind of marketing budget. As soon as this ran out, the platform was gone. Not very sustainable :)
