I feel that’s def still a developer perspective. Most users aren’t aware of algorithms or what feeds them. And i would suspect most users aren’t posting for value or marketing purposes. Their posts are superficial to begin with.

Yep, reposts are greatly beneficial. And zaps are def a monetary exchange of value. However so are ‘likes’…

‘Likes’ are serve multiple purposes. I see a post that I agree with but I don’t want to repost it because the content doesn’t fit the content that I put on my page. And a zap may not be the step I wanna take. But a like… yep. A like lets the poster know that I acknowledge the thought/post/note and kept it moving. The poster is now aware that his post/note was seen and ‘celebrated’. The poster now has a gauge on what their audience gravitates towards or just appreciates.

Sure you can phase them out and users will just not have that option and make adjustments. But to say it doesn’t have an equal value as zaps or reposts is a bit of an under-sight.
