Both serve a different purpose. Both useful in their own way.
Likes are definitely not feeling braindead to me.

Maybe. But what is the purpose? 😂
Im using it. Not sure why.
It may just be showing i read it and i acknowledge it?
This, yeah. Acknowledge/agree, not necessarily worth the extra taps and seconds needed to open your wallet and zap.
I feel like zapping shows like an extra amount of appreciation for something, and this makes it feel special.
If you zap everything, it will not feel as special anymore 🤷♂️💜
THIS.
You could say, you make it feel more special by zapping bigger amounts.
But your big amount is someone else's small amount. There's no common scale here, so this doesn't work.
So you nailed it.
