What I'm having trouble understanding is why you think it will it hurt⚡ purpose.
If anything I just see it as a random thing that may or may not last but I don't ever see it preventing me from enjoying a real appreciation zap I'll get.
I'm curious though.
Because it’s mindless and doesn’t show anyone has actually cared for what you had to say. It normalized noise and mediocrity and conditions to think tiny automated zaps are enough to reward good signal. Not to mention incentivized most posting without concern for quality.
Idk maybe I don't get as much of these automated ⚡ as you do. I don't have that much noise, it happens sometimes but I still can spot the difference between those and real recognition ⚡, for now at least.
