Whose benefit are you engaging for? Is it simply to make you feel good even though you’re adding nothing of value, or is it because you actually have something meaningful you want to offer the person? Maybe not every single post needs your engagement.

I see your perspective of it and Im sure there are lots of people who engage for that reason.
- Maybe the majority-
But if I have a buddy on my network who posts something that I noticed took some effort on their part and provided me value, Id want them to know it did so. -Sure I could send sats and I might do so, but a like with sats might be a double tap.
If I know them in the real world I might just tell them when I see then next but, if I dont know them in the real world Id want to acknowledge their post even if I may not have much time to fully flesh out that acknowledgement.
Ultimately, what Im getting at is that this might be a "throwing the baby out with the bathwater" kind of situation
