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.

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! 💜🤙

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 😂🤷♂️

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

I think I saw that mentioned in one thread but it was more a conversation about what they were observing after turning it on and not really complaining about it. I can say that my default zap amount has dated the same and I am definitely zapping more. Perhaps some that had a higher default before felt a need to lower with an increase in outbound zaps.
We even discussed that some on Plebchain Radio last week. There are some who have replaced likes with zaps. There were some who had already done that prior to this toggle setting. There are others, like me, who have not replaced likes with zaps. The zap feature didn’t appear last week. We’ve all had that option to zap 21 sats or whatever in place of using the like button. This change simply gave the option to remove the like from the UI/UX for those who didn’t want to use it any longer. I would rather send you a 5000K sat zap for something that was really great, than a handful of 21 sats here and there for every single thing you post. Does the latter just incentive posting bulk nonsense posts, stolen memes, pics, etc? Instead I would rather zap you really well for something you did that meaningfully added to my day.
Id like this practice, but I personally miss a lot of stuff that is ⚡️ nuke worthy thanks to the fiat gig and just life so I tend to trend microzap heavy at times.
