Likes have their own utility, definitely less than a zap but it’s not zero.
I’m all for clients making them optional - as in you could turn reactions on or off. Think that’s a good compromise for zap maxis who emphasise that signal.
But I’m happy leaving a Shaka on random notes in global, it lets other users know they’re being seen which is important when the discovery mechanisms on nostr are so early.
Good point i haven’t been doing the global thing in a while, just living in the main feed and notifications.
I don’t mean to shame likers with this type of note either, more just expressing my own thoughts that led to zap maxihood
For me personally the only argument against OnlyZaps™️ is it takes one more tap to send, a swipe back over to damus from zeus, and an extra second or two altogether. But i know the recipient will appreciate it so it’s worth it
