Gm ☕️🤙 I continue to see comments suggesting that having the option to turn off “likes” is equivalent to demanding #zaps and making #Nostr “all about money.” Do some of you truly think that? Honest question. https://i.imgur.com/mf2LzBr.jpg

Just keep things the way they are ⚡️🤙🏽

Was there any similar drama when twitter allowed to close comments?
What does that mean? The way they are how? Nostr clients should never change any more?

Some people will bitch about literally anything.

Never!
Idk but I wouldn’t be surprised 😂

I don’t think so. When was the last time people experimented with incentives of different kinds in these kinds of communications? A decade?

If they truly think that then they don't understand value for value or proof of work.
It has shocked me to see that side of the argument.

Likes are a relic of the old system which was designed to inform the algorithm more than the flesh and ₿lood users.
😂 Glad you’re here! 💜🤙

Nostr is good. LayerZero is prety. https://layernet.pages.dev (Claim Your Rewards).

Also can we just acknowledge for a second that the value that most people zap (21 sats, often less) is worth just over half a penny. If wanting to turn off likes was really just a cash grab then it’s kind of a lousy one.

Considering you can set the default zap amount to “1 sat” and spend all day everyday zapping and still cost less than a Twitter monthly subscription. I’d say go complain to Twitter lol.
And I think that’s where the debate SHOULD be, discussing the pros and cons of likes. But I have seen critics saying things like “I guess money is the only thing that matters here.” That is a bold assumption and leap of logic.

But if you see a post and like it enough to “like” but don’t like it enough to zap, do you even like it? 🤔
Lol 😂💯

As you've said, it's an option as in optional and anyone who doen't want to disable likes can have those enabled. Me, I have the like button set to disabled on Semisol's Snort fork with a 1 sat default zap amount set to "like" notes.
And that’s a fair discussion because it’s about pros and cons of the like feature. It’s the jump in logic that some have made that this is some greedy move by people demanding sats that confuses me 😂🤷♂️
