I would take 1000 likes over 1000 Sats, if they are not from bots, but from people I value, or from people who value what I have to say. I'm not here to make money, but frens maybe. I would not take money from my frens to tell a joke or tale to them.
Maybe I'm a bit boomer about this, but I don't press like hastily, but only to the notes I REALLY like or value.
