I respectfully don’t buy this argument. You never have to zap something, and you can “react” with a reply

Yeah, we can have a variety of emojis or a variety of sat amounts first. From a UX perspective, they do the same thing (react), but the former has alternative UX patterns already.
Fair, but asking people to reply in lieu of a reaction is more "work" for the end user. UX is a fickle thing, and decades of UX experiments in marketing and user engagement show that one tap increases engagement better than the necessity of three to accomplish the same task.
Exactly this 👆🏾
I think part of the issue is the marketing name “onlyzaps”. Most seem to think they have to zap. When in reality, they can just reply. I think there would be more engagement if people used likes less. They would have to comment or send an emoji
Yeah. I love the love. But replies, boost, and zaps mean more. Zaps last, after likes btw. I'd rather replies, and boosting my note. 🫡💪🫂
Dude, nobody thinks this way... 😂

It’s very apparent how a feed can fill up. Takes time tapping and typing to reply to potentially many notes you don’t want to zap. Especially if you only have a few minutes to check in. Options are good. A 1-tap reaction often just fits the bill. Why take the away?
