What is the point of zapping, when you can just like/share a post? Liking/sharing costs no money, but it also releases dopamine for the receiver. So I see no reason in zapping.

Fundamentally you’re getting paid and it’s a direct and meaningful endorsement.
The like means less because it literally costs less.
a zap⚡️ is real
Getting dopamine from likes on socmedia is a solid way to let your brain rot👀 I see value in them when you're an influencer and such, but why emulate twitter when we can do something really valuable? Nostr is in the beginnings, but if 10.000 followers gave a zap to an artist, there wouldn't be a need for that artist to bother them with ads and other trash. Zap cuts out the middle man.
- Like button - "I will click it even it is probably not the best suff I have seen today. But it is free of charge, I can give thousands of likes daily." = what is the value of such like for me?
- zap - "sending my own money, will really think whether I like it or not" = this person liked it so much, he paid me his own money
