Hot take:

OnlyZaps is a cult.

Now don't get mad, I respect your right to be in whatever cult or religion you choose, follow who you want, and absolutely self determine. We all get into weird shit and end up in weird places.

But....the OnlyZaps phenomena is completely about limiting yourself to a particular mindset where you monetize everything. It's an ideology spearheaded by popular individuals, and their fans lead the charge chanting for their new way to be the only way. And when there's push back, they recant to "You have choices but you really should try it!"

Have you heard of our lord and savior OnlyZaps? The like button is the devil! It could be a bot! It could be manipulating youj into a fiat mindset! How dare numbers on a screen give you a perception of the reach of a particular note, numbers are always fake unless there are sats attached! Now chant with me *Ohhhhmmmmm Satoshiiiiiiii, Only Sats for the HODLord, Ohhhhhmmmmm likes are shitcoins*

In all thijngs we must be mindful of extremes. We've all survived shitty social media, let's not fall into the trap of overcorrection and alienate everyone who doesn't think like you. I'm 100% pro zap, without being anti-like. I don't wish to choose sides and fight stupid clique wars. I don't want tk live left VS right, stay in your box, here are my labels bullshit. Let's all let each other choose for once. And if you choose to not see or participate in likes, that's entirely your right.
