Well, likes are free. Zaps cost a non zero amount of money. What’s the incentive to zap? Unless I just like throwing money around?
Discussion
I’m fine without having a likes cause they are useless! Zaps will make the signal better on here vs noise ! Nostr doesn’t have an algo so it’s pointless to click that like button 🤷♂️
Well I’m not talking about you, I’m talking about me

Good for u bro
It has some use.
"I see your note and I'm glad you posted it"
a polite end of a conversation where everything was said
...
Yes, so I will like it. What incentivizes me to zap it instead of like it?
Zap is a tip or "thanks". I think likes and zaps coexist well side by side.
Also with likes one has some sense how many people see the note. Helps with "shouting into the black digital void" effects for people with small nr of followers.
Sure, but I don’t really care about u or ur followers. I care about me. Also, I think they have competing interests, with Damus allowing people to choose to create a zap monopoly
Yeah exactly. Also, people like me who dont have a lightning address because its way too custodial for now, rather want a neutral like instead of a reposting it.
So why did he like ur note instead of zap it?
The incentive is to create incentive.
