People who are anti-likes don't realize that likes act as social proof. They are heard-motivating behavior that encourage people to acknowledge a note as a read / or show some form of approval.

Remove the likes and your client / notes / protocol will look like nobody is using it.

Sure, zaps send better signal, but zap usage is something like 7% on nostr. To remove likes is to exclude the other 93% of people here.

Don't believe me? Go ahead and remove likes and see what happens.

The idea that only zaps are quality signal is dumb.

This is like ignoring the vast majority of people who don't want money in their social interactions.

Imagine standing in a circle of friends and zapping each other 2 cents every time someone said something you agree with. This is just not how social interactions work. Money was never part of the social agreement.

Proof of work and all / actions speak louder than words / put your money where your mouth is... I get it, that has value and is absolutely true in other context, but not in social. It's a nice bonus, it's great to be valued with a payment for something you put effort into, but it can never replace free expression without the expectation of payment. Believe it or not, some people don't want money involved in their conversations.

That's not to say that you can't have it, but don't insist on only zaps. It's going to turn people away.

Likes provide zero signal. They are relics of ad-funded social media intended to inform their algorithms and keep people addicted. They’re the shitcoins of engagement metrics. Absolute garbage. Stop using them.

Imagine if I had eaten eggplant for supper 🐟🌮

It's nice to have an ample supply at home when you feel the need 😁

I just had 3 nectarines so perfect and juicy, that I had to lean over the sink to eat them 🤤🍑💦

I'm kinda drunk

Works for me. How big is your video and what's the error message you are getting?

And if I see drunk ostrich?

Ask yourself, why wouldn't #Bitcoin follow this same pattern?
