Okay, just decided i’m gonna try and stop giving ‘likes’ for awhile and either just give zaps or actual responses.

While likes help signify that you saw or agree with a note, they are the lowest effort/quality signal that exists.

We’re breaking new ground here so I want to get out of the old paradigm. Let’s see how it goes and how it feels. Might be a bit challenging. ⚡️

I’m not convinced likes are all bad. They can be an acknowledgment that you’ve read someone’s note or even that you agree with what they’re saying (but not compelling enough to be zap or repost worthy). Being acknowledged can feel valuable

I don't think likes are bad. It's the connection to an algorithm that is 'bad'. That being said, I do agree ZAPS and comments are better. My innate frugality is also at play here. It's a tough one.

Never hurts to experiment anyway. 🤙🏻

Agree with you for sure but figured its worth giving a try just to see how it feels this way. When a simple like can be worth minimum 1 sat or 5 and its all instant and in app then i think thats the model. But just doing this as a little experiment for myself thats all…. Like to try new things but agree that ‘likes’ arent without some merit/value in themselves

I like options. More options are good and allows for like you say other types of acknowledgement than purely monetary.
