Correct nostr:npub1wtuh24gpuxjyvnmjwlvxzg8k0elhasagfmmgz0x8vp4ltcy8ples54e7js was on point with his point of human interaction.

Like nostr:npub1g3827ewz6d23rlgdhkaslc78gyule52ymcqdyt2hsxdwtlw8dt5q7dfpvg said their are dangers in having extreme views on either side as what is acceptable . Let the user decide what is most appropriate. Is this type of mentality not what we all ran away from and sought refuge on here for?

Ascribing what value should or shouldn't be in relation to thoughts or ideas is the wrong way to look at things. If you want to make money create a product or sell a service. Ideas and thoughts are priceless. Value is just as open ended as the individual. For me a like is an official endorsement that can't be taken back, a repost is co-signing and a zap is well a zap a monetary exchange of value, which is their choice. Other people might have a differing view on what each tool does, which proves my point as what I think value is, is different than what you think it is. As nostr:npub1g3827ewz6d23rlgdhkaslc78gyule52ymcqdyt2hsxdwtlw8dt5q7dfpvg pointed out their are other forms of capital and a like is an expression of social capital. It is an endorsement that I like what this person is saying and acknowledgement.

The danger of a OnlyZap world is it will invite the shitcoin casino of parasites and grifters. Where their only goal is to extract as much value as possible without giving anything back to the community. All you have to do is look at all the scammy ways shitcoin projects build their communities inorganicaly and ultimately fail. Constant giveways, botting and worst of all airdrops. Every single one of those enticements kill communities as once the money stops flowing people move on to the next fresh host. It's a value black hole. Does the Nostr community want a future similar to this?

The #nostr protocol is beautiful in the sense that it's open-ended and I would remind #devs not to get wrapped up in believing that one solution is better than the other and take away choice from the user. Let the user decide what value they would like to exchange.
