I mostly agree with this, the only counter that comes to mind: those who maybe can’t afford to express their support for a piece of content.
Discussion
Repost. Even 1 sat works tho.
so i’m not the only one who sees it kinda aporophobic 💀
That was my initial line of thinking, but he’s right in saying that amplifying the content is a value add allowing someone to participate in support without even having to spend a sat. I prefer sharing over a like. Did you still feel this way after hearing this point?
not quite. i still think people should be allowed to make decisions (to support or not to support) on their own – or maybe i still childishly believe in things like radiohead’s “in rainbows” experiment.
at least i can tell for myself, i’m fine with some likes/reposts/replies to my posts and zero sats coming from it
They still can
… by not interacting – even they want to – because they have no sats?
Interact with repost or comment/reply
I’m fine with it also, but did feel satisfied with the counter of amplifying if one can’t afford. They giving the content more visibility you’re increasing the impact of the content you appreciate while opening it up to compensation from others in your network. That’s a money-free value add IMO
so, we both agreed that having a free alternative for those who would like to but can’t afford to support is a good thing – that’s nice 💞
i totally paid to get the cd. :)
They can repost or comment for free
Much better engagement this way and I’m loving the add free environment

But sometimes I liked a content, but I don't want to comment or share. in this case, removing the 'like' button would be detrimental to the creator of the content. Right?
I think existing social media structures have taught us that a passive nod is support, however, in real terms, it is not. Especially when we are increasingly living in a society that empowers people who output content to earn money for their effort. If you enjoyed it but don’t want to share it or affirm it with words OR shoot them a sat, you probably didn’t really enjoy it that much.
It makes sense. I liked it, but not a lot. So would you just view the post? I believe it is important to encourage the production of content. At least if we want this network to have a large scale.
That makes sense.
