Excerpt from a 2060 high school digital era history lesson:
“On legacy network platforms, people couldn't zap each other sats. Instead, they had a thing called a ‘like’. ‘Likes’ were popular for about a 10-year period from about 2015 to 2025. They worked like a 0-sat zap, and were only valuable if you got enough to of them to convince an advertiser to pay you out of band for mentioning their products. People thought it was fun, and some people were very successful in the ‘likes’ business, but eventually the internet pioneers of the ’20s discovered a way to use sats directly. It only took a few years for most of the global network economy to switch from ‘likes’ to the zaps we know today.”
