My thought on #onlyzaps - I quite like the likes. That just lets me know someone saw my note. I'm no inflooenzer, and I doubt I get many follows or views unless I reply to some else's note. So a like is nice for me.
I'm not here to monetize my social presence. Most of my notes are long winded bloviating on whatever topic happens to be on my mind. Sure, I could write a book, but why? If anyone cares enough about my ramblings, they can collect them and publish them however they like; I don't claim any copyright or ownership of my ideas and thoughts, and most aren't all that original. Hopefully they publish them posthumously, as I don't want to deal with the notoriety. No speaking tours, signing engagements, or answering emails accusing me of rubbish thinking. Nope.
Just posting notes, and if you see one, like it. Hopefully you read some of it too. If you want to zap it, go right ahead, but I don't check my zaps balance very often, or even see when it happens, maybe months later. And that is fine!
