 Okay so let me ask this.

Should I just ignore something if I think it's cool but not zap worthy?

 There are lots of ways to communicate.  It’s not up to me to tell you how to do so. Use likes if you want. But understand what their purpose is. People who think it’s any different on nostr just haven’t looked closely enough.

 Is anyone advocating that likes hold more value here?

I missed that.
It sounds retarded.

 Their purpose is what we decide it is.

Marketing can monitize any interaction. And our interactions are public.

Comment, like, zap, it's all useable marketing data points.

I understand fearing an adverisement takeover, but we also need to communicate. And any communication is a data point.

Likes arent the problem, it's people's willingness to put up with ads.

We all need to encourage everyone to shun and block ads, not attack various forms of communications because marketing agencies will use them for evil.
