It’s been proposed before… so there might be something open already… there was a talk once about a `COUNT` message. Relays may be able to cache these counts.

Every time the conversation devolves into “relays can make up counts” then everyone their heads. Apparently, we need Blockchain Proof grade likes/reactions/counts.

One issue is, every relay has a different copy of likes/events/etc so how do you show that? average? max? lots of unanswered questions.

The main issue that comes up is that once relays can craft info that users did not create we are in fake land.

It only takes 1 relay to receive payment to bump up those likes ;)
