Likes are also a way of indicating to a person that their content has been seen. People appreciate knowing they've been seen. If you don't believe me, ghost everyone in your life and see how that goes.

I don’t care that you’ve “seen” my content if that’s the extent of your interaction with it/me. It’s not merely about zaps, but more broadly about meaningful interactions. Likes literally have no meaning here. They are a relic of ad-driven algorithmic social media platforms. Reply and tell me what you thought of a piece of content, positive or negative, share/repost it if it resonates that much, zap it if you’re the zapping type, but ffs don’t click the like button. I don’t see them anyway. I hide them from my UI as much as possible. They’re worthless.
