Indeed the wrong way. Likes are not real engagement, they’re a data collection mechanism to influence the algorithms ability to serve you content.
Only zaps actually incentivizes new users to engage in a meaningful way, rather than simply consume content. By becoming engaged, their thoughts and ideas are then contributed to the greater discussion.
This honest engagement allows their comments to be zapped, encouraging them to continue to participate. It also funds their ability to zap others they find valuable.
Influencers are often “ratioed” in todays world. But such happenings actually continue to boost their signal and influence, even though it was deemed negative or false by the community.
In an only zaps world, influencers are incentivized to continually provide real value to collect zaps, as opposed to farm valueless likes for the algorithms to continue to propagate their popularity.
