Affectionately patronizing/shit-talking 😂🫂 Likes are a garbage relic of legacy social media. They’ve polluted for an entire generation what validation and value mean. The addiction and effects are real and studied and it’s not like this is something I’ve made up on a whim. Likes are used to inform algorithms that then feed you content and advertisements. They are used to keep you coming back for more cheap worthless validation. One of the best features nostr devs can give users is the ability to completely hide likes from our UI/UX.
