Would you throw «economic growth» in the same basket?

Don’t disagree, just feel like zaps could prove impressions as well. Since zaps can transfer tiny amounts of value, my personal preference would see a «heart» cost 5 sats, a «thumbs up» cost 3 sats etc.. mostly trivial amounts, yet make impressions more meaningful and harder to fake.

I think zaps should be the only form of appreciation on nostr. Of course, developers are free to do as they please, but likes disincentivise zaps and don’t work as well as on legacy platforms anyway, while zaps could be what draws users to nostr if users aren’t distracted by likes.
