Getting ratio'd shows how bad some things are considered.

Yep. And we know why the nefarious powers that be on the interwebs say we cannot have that. But it’s oddly lacking here in nostr land.

I don't think it's needed since we have a better feedback mechanism with zaps.

The argument could be made that zaps aren’t needed either. Just as some argue too that hearts aren’t needed. Anyway, what I’m perplexed by is the negativity against any indicator(s) such as Zaps, hearts, and dislikes. Why not….?

I suppose it isn't needed for most of the "other stuff" that can be transmitted by relays, but...

All those kinds of feedback increase engagement, which us a pretty good metric to pay attention to, IMO.

Bullseye 🎯

It could also be abused by the powers that be in attempt to discredit legitimate positions.

zaps can be used in that manner as well.

Of course, but those have a much larger cost.

The Elite club can easily handle the cost.

For now

Only the thought-police & centralized platforms care about likes & dislikes... #Nostriches care about #Zaps

That’s not an effective argument since any & all tools can be used for good or bad.

Can you explain a BAD #Zap to me?🤔

You really don’t know that malicious actors with money (ya know, like bankers) could easily use zaps to manipulate how much a note gets zapped? You’re kidding, right?

A #Zap has real-world value... what would be the point of "malicious" manipulation via #Sats?

If you want send me a million #SAT #Zap, I will gladly let you... or him or her or them 😂🤙

I guess you need to tell all the million dollar advertising agencies that there’s no point to what they’re doing. anyhow, come back when you’re willing to actually address the questions that are asked in the thread. Otherwise, why are you here engaging with me?

#Zaps and #Nostr are going to change the way advertising & marketing works.

#DYOR. Look up #zapvertizing

If you keep asking questions, I will keep answering you... until I decide otherwise🤙

Also… explain me then why platforms like YouTube removed dislikes?

Being a #Nostrich means I don't have to waste energy on any of that fiat-fuckery🤙

Well that’s an answer. But not to the question I asked. Anyhoo thank you for the engagement.
