Without love, would you feel motivated to pay the bills?

I pay for a lot of things I don't love. I pay my electric bill, and I don't love them. In fact, they don't entertain me at all. I pay my car payment, and I don't love Chevy; I like my car, so maybe that counts as love.

Of course, the difference is that not only do I not love them, I have to pay them a lot more than tiny fractions of a penny. But the stuff I do love? I love it a whole lot more. If I only had to pay those companies less than a penny… Maybe I could negotiate them down to satoshis. What do you think? I might love them more.

It's not that you love who you're paying, it may be that you love the person or people you're providing these things for, yourself and/or your family, and love may be helping you do the work to provide those things. Does this make sense?

Agreed. This thread was about likes versus zaps. I think they made a terrible mistake when they kept these actions separated. People love zaps—even trolls love them. Trolls will troll less if there are better incentives for doing good.

Ohhhh lmao. Now this makes sense.

Attention from hearts can convert to product sales for me, though, for my books.

Sure. Zaps are a little more direct. I couldn't send you any SATs. If you set that up people can actively reward you for your content.

Are you a publisher?
