Here are some of my notes I’ve gathered since participating in ZapsOnly

All just questions…

Are likes a form of dopamine? Are they truly rewarding or just something we have grown addicted to?

Does OnlyZaps increase the zapping? Do we have metrics?

Does OnlyZaps decrease the onboarding / initial retention?

Do we have metrics?

Are people engaging / responding more?

Do we have metrics?

Is this in our DNA? Appears to be a wedge issue? Is this a left brain / right brain divide?

AOL and MySpace did not have likes. Did users then seemed healthier? Would likes have made those spaces better?

Facebook, Twitter and Instagram all use likes. All seemed to become mentally unfit. Did likes contribute to this? Or are they just an algo driver? A form of emotional support ? A form of clout chasing?

Are Likes Proof of Stake, Zaps Proof of Work?

I’ll keep going. Fun exercise honestly when you take a step back.

In my opinion the big problem with social media is that it's ad-based and the powers that be have decided to tune it for "crazy" hoping for more ad impressions. They are doing this based largely on reactions. But I don't know that the reactions are really the problem themselves.

I could see the wisdom of allowing reactions but tuning algorithms more toward zaps.
