I think that a repost without a comment often is only low effort content, not different from a like. It weights on reputation only for high profile accounts.
Zaps and comments are the real PoW, so have value.

This. Imagine what it would look like with constant reposts of the same posts. People would stop reposting because it would turn into spam.
Better as quote repost for sure
Yes. In fact I prefer to distinguish reposts and mentions.
Just yesterday I was discussing this on the Nostr group, the protocol situation is not clear after that nip-18 (kind 6, plain repost) has been suppressed.
It is an important matter, thank you for raising it!
I've unfollowed people who repost too much, it's like they add their timeline to mine. Spam. People who put in valuable posts, but then comes a wave of other stuff. It gets annoying quickly, no matter how good the stuff is.๐ง
Mention is way more interesting, the reposter has to put in more effort than just a click.
