#[2] is 100% on point here. Reputation, identity, and hard money. Pair those aspect with great content and we have ourselves what social communication online should be.

Part of me so viscerally agrees with this line of thinking. And another part feels like this is like EA/other game and app developers introducing microtransactions into everything. Microtransactions, while they have shown to have some staying power, are pretty broadly disliked by consumers. Curious if #[2]​ or anyone else has any thoughts on this and how nostr can avoid the feelings of annoyance and being “nickeled and dimed” that are often associated with microtransactions.

I guess you could zap 1 sat instead of a like.

But why even zap if it is for only 1 sat?

That would just be spam for the lightning network I think.

I'am no expert on #lightning yet, but sounds like DDOS to me, to replace likes with zaps.
