I think I disagree. If you're sitting a group of people, having a conversation, you don't throw a penny at someone who makes a point. You nod your head or make some other gesture that tells that person you're listening and you get what they're saying.

Social media isn't a perfect analogue to this. But a 🤙 , to me, feels more like a head nod or a read receipt. It signals that you read the post and are picking up what that person is putting down.

however, a 🤙 like shouldn't be more than that, because it doesn't boost visibility of the note in some algorithm. Reposting and zapping should definitely be used when someone creates value for you and/or you think the post should be read by more people.

Put simply, I just don't think we should pony up sats to digitally nod our head.
