Underrated note.
And I 100% agree.
I think Zaps are not as useful as bitcoiners naively think.
They become a little like likes anyway, bc they feel like random points (doesn’t feel like real money) and to Rabble’s point, points generally get allocated toward clickbait & sensationalism.
You can only do so much with a single like, but you can really skew things by throwing a bunch of meaningless “points” at it (and yes - at this stage, zap sats are pretty meaningless)

Yes, totally agree with it being fuzzy Points. It's not the great 'signal' people often claim it is here. Doesn't create a new social (media) dynamic, you can still see eg parasocial zapping lol. Perhaps zaps have an element of old facebook's Poke thrown in too.
