I hope someday reposts and zaps completely replace the need for “likes”/🤙🏼.
Reposts and zaps are true value exchange…and have a real cost: your reputation or money.
Likes are superficial...
Devil’s advocate: Zaps are asymmetric for rich vs poor. For some the value of a zap would be high, for others neglible. For wealthy or high-follower accts (which is somewhat correlated), reputational cost of liking is far higher than cost of zapping.
