 There is a standard like, and then there is an emoticon.

Do you actually think there's no difference between the two?  
 I don’t know what you’re referring to. Can you explain? I’m talking about the “like” button on posts on nostr social media clients.  
 I don't see a like button, I see an option menu of emojis. 

The social ad model is inevitable, zaps might help to frame it - but it's unavoidable. 
 That sounds a lot like a like button just with more options 🤣🤷‍♂️ Anyway, I sure hope that the ad model is not inevitable. I won’t be surprised to see it in some clients, but I hope it’s not unavoidable. Pretty depressing if that’s true.  
 Buttons 4 sale! i have buttons 4 all U Butt.heads       send zaps for butt.'s 
 I don't believe my brain receives a like the same way it does emojis, or even a myriad of emojis from one person.

I think there's an important factor for our brains in there that allows for more nuance in response from your followers/community.
