Did you even read what I wrote? I understand you have your opinion on what likes used to be, but I just told you why I use them now. Me telling somebody with a quick button click that something they created made me smile or smirk and I see you, maybe thats worthless to you because you want money for everything you post i guess? But to me and probably a lot of people thats not worthless. I repost and I comment and zap things also, not just likes. Something may be pointless to you, or you only view it in its old outdated form, but it still has value if you can separate it from your hatred of who created it. Comments are difficult for me in general (i’ve always been a lurker, i don’t ever text even or text people back haha) but i still like to do them if something moves me to.

Likes are a more subtle way to participate. You don’t seem like a very shy or reserved person 😂😅 so maybe thats part of why its difficult for you to see other perspectives on the matter 🤷‍♂️
