Curious about this, as while I have been having a lot of fun with zaps, I have some niggles about that very question.. surely they can be gamed intentionally, and/or simply skewed by relative wealth and ability to zap more often/higher amounts..

and also do zaps reflect any truer 'value' of a post than 'likes', in that humans like leaders and popular ppl and might zap content to be 'seen' by a those ppl or by others etc

Also, depending on the relays connected and the time of day/night in places with more internet service, some posts will be seen far more than others leading to them statistically getting more zaps..

Haven't dived far down with these thoughts, just been noticing them bubbling up the past few days..

Can't help but wonder how it would work/feel to hide like count/zap count/zap amount .. I guess we did have that for the first few days in December before the real migration started, and I remember liking it, though def felt odd after being programmed for so long to look at Like count to 'validate' a tweets 'value' or at least evaluate the amount of 'interest' in it..

Love to hear others' thoughts on all this 💜
