Id like to know, what value do likes have for the person that is liked, that is not achieved by comment, repost, quote post, or zap?
The only arguments Iâve heard for likes involve their ability to satisfy the liker themselves, or their ability for the content server to move posts to a more prominent position for greater visibility.
How are likes uniquely valuable for the liked?
How about this: Say you want to approach someone at a bar. You wouldnât walk in within the first 15 seconds and throw money down and buy them a drink. You scan the room, see if they are with anyone, see if you can even approach them. Itâs the same thing with normal interaction or digital.
You canât expect Billy Bob normal guy to show up see your post and throw sats or determine that they too provide value because itâs normal human tendency that they too have value or what they say has value. Although the likes do not mean anything the little interactions and little things go a lot longer than saying my sats show my worth. Idk if that makes sense
Sounds like youâre suggesting leaving a comment and saying hello should be the first step.
Likes donât provide any way for billy bob normal guys value to be appreciated. But a comment does. Now the guy at the bar has a chance to appreciate billy bob, and start a conversation.
I agree but I feel like we still arenât on the same page but thatâs okay because nothing here is set in stone
