that psychological value goes away after some time I think.. & nothing has to really replace it, I think zaps are on a league of their own.

The value of a react to the receiver is temporary, for sure.

This is mostly just to say that the only-zaps ethos drops that value entirely. Some people have been making the claim that zaps are the only way to communicate value over Nostr, but I don't think that's true.

To expand I would value a comment or quote over a zap. A comment requires action and show that I have created a response that has emotion behind it. A quote is a direct emotional response meant to juxtapose the two notes. a repost is only a button push. One that means my audiences should see this too but not much else.

I understand that a like can have value I feel a zap has more

Right on you move me Dan πŸ’œπŸ«‚πŸ«‘

Totally agree πŸ«‚

A reaction says β€œthank you for that”

A zap says β€œplease do more of that”

That's a really good way of seeing it.

yeah temporary in both senses, cause i actually meant that over time.. the more time you’re not on algorithm driven platforms you care less if you received a reaction for the content you post, you tend to value the conversations under that content much much more.. I see both sides for sure.
