Why should there be stakes for every interaction? There's enough of that in the offline world, that it feels appropriate that at least online simple & undecorated actions matter enough to maybe have broader consequences. One can acknowledge & appreciate without having to pass value judgements on one's reputation or wallet 👀

And there are certainly occassions where it's practically offensive to zap/repost. Like when someone shared a pic of their kid playing or their grandma? Zapping seems absurd(to me at least) & reposting would be trespassing on their privacy. Replying is an option but Like is just a shortcut for avoiding such a quagmire of "Nice"/"Great" replies 🤷‍♀️ Maybe there will be a need for unzappable posts ? 😬
