People who are anti-likes don't realize that likes act as social proof. They are heard-motivating behavior that encourage people to acknowledge a note as a read / or show some form of approval.

Remove the likes and your client / notes / protocol will look like nobody is using it.

Sure, zaps send better signal, but zap usage is something like 7% on nostr. To remove likes is to exclude the other 93% of people here.

Don't believe me? Go ahead and remove likes and see what happens.

Thank you for liking my note ser

Agree wholeheartedly on this one.

Liked ๐Ÿ˜‚

Sometimes my posts are not posted by the client ๐Ÿ˜ซ thatโ€™s why I need just one Like, just to know that my post has been posted and somebody saw it. If I donโ€™t receive one Like, and start looking to know if it was posted, and sometimes Iโ€™m right and it was not.

Yep

believable/yes

all about optionality. i guess if someone wanted a zap only client, no one is stopping it from being developed ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ

I received a lot of criticism months ago for saying the same thing during the onlyzaps event.

Time has proven us right, most of the planet can't spend 21 sats to 'like' a post because those 21 sats are very valuable in their country.

Zaps and likes must coexist! ๐Ÿ˜€

True words Qโ€ฆ 21 sats ainโ€™t an easy thing for a lot of ppl

Who said remove likes? REMOVE THE FUCKING ZAPS!!!

Wow! Go hard Empess!

Well saidโ€ฆ I like

I like likes!

I always wondered who used likes... lol

I like likes, I appreciate zaps, but ABOVE ALL, I love it when plebs actually READ what I write and ask questions, leave comments, and actually engage in a conversation with me.๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿซ‚๐Ÿ’–๐Ÿ˜†๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿš€๐ŸŽ‡
