You would rather have a post with no likes and a single user zapping 21 sats or a post with 0 zaps and 121 likes ?

Replies (21)

Right! This implies there is some msats value on likes, which is a per-user subjective function of # of likes, # of zaps, and sum of zaps.
This makes sense. I was thinking something similar, that 21 like, is 21 people. 1 person zapping is only one person. One other question. Do you evaluate a like differently if: * you can only like * you can zap and like as well
I think the same. So for me, like and zap are tools. They both can have different usecases. Both can be overused. At the end, the meaning is important. Automatic stuff has less meaning. If someone likes everything, it also has no meaning. If you can like and zap, you can attach different meaning to them, compared to the "traditional" system. Also the problem with likes is, its easy to "create" them. Maybe we shall add proof of work to likes to show that we mean that like by mining it. Would be an interesting concept. Still it would be "free" to give, because you only pay your electricity. You don't have to use additional money, but it would have kind of a proof in it.
Right! There must be some function of what a like is worth vs sats sum and number of zaps
Not trying to make anything so. Just curious what the msat value of a like it which prompted this question.
I like both, i toggle #onlyzaps depending on how busy my feed is at any given time. I use it more as a noise reduction filter.
