Those who advocate against likes frame it in such a weird way. No I am not collecting them, and don’t give a shit how many a note gets, it’s a useful feedback mechanism. It has utility. Sending someone actual money as a read receipt is even more strange.

Why not reply instead of like? That’s an even better feedback mechanism. A like is a legacy feature.

Because responding with “cool” or “great” is a waste of time and adds nothing when compared to 👍

Just like a like then 😂

Yeah, likes and zaps aren't the same thing.

Yup, there are emoji reactions in products for a reason. GitHub, Jira, and Slack users are not seeking popularity points. They are communicating in shorthand.
