I agree with that statement, but onlyzaps isnt going to stop data collection. I think having it optional is the best solution, which is what we have. Likes can still be useful, especially when onboarding users of previous platforms that have used the like mechanic, it's a mechanic they understand, which only helps distinguish the zap. At that point, this potentially onboarded user now comes to YOU asking what exactly is a zap, as opposed to you having to preemptively explain it. That's only one example of how a like can still be useful. Additionally, especially when people first get started, they may not be able to afford to send as many zaps as they would like to acknowledge a note. A like can still be a positive thing.

I appreciate this, I understand we can't all be ready for zaps the first day on nostr. I will push back against any notions that someone might not have anything to start with. These npubs will gladly zap an empty wallet.
You always help move the conversation forward nostr:npub1dgpt04w4c88wc0g262xaw8zvlm4mvwtmjhl0tn2sxtyjywsn6q4qt8ka3a appreciate ya!
