Zaps are ground in real world, scarce, instantly sailable, energy units.

Really true. Have you heard Tristan Harris’ discussion on his podcast your undivided attention about Tik Tok and how likes are an infinite commodity. Tik tok can influence likes up and down by making slight tweaks to their algorithm in real time. As a result, if you say something that is in the ...

I think I have Zap set up correctly. I entered a lightning URL.

Feels like a profound point, truly. That said, do you think it could end up putting those with less money at a disadvantage? People with more will be able to zap more things, and in greater size. Again, I think it’s a change that makes a lot of sense, but I do wonder how it will work in practic...

Large accounts will typically say this. Small accounts may have very little engagement if it weren't for likes. Without likes we would have a flood of short 'yup'. 10 likes = 10 less yups in the flow.

Submitted with respect: zaps are not intuitive, are not ingrained in functionality of the (iPhone app for me) app, based in hope, and frankly are a terminology already smacking of in/out group. Likes are easy, ingrained, supported. I think out casting “likes” by those with a platform to lead m...
