I'm not sure what that ratio would show me. What do you think this reaction would indicate, and how would it be useful?
I don't subscribe to the onlyzaps meme. I use a client that has reactions, and I find them a useful communication sub-channel. They let me gauge reaction to a note or comment. On most social media a large percentage of people don't post much, be it notes or comments, and reactions are a frictionless way for them to express sentiment. I also didn't think every comment I make is worth money, but would like to know what people think.

Why like when you could 1 sat zap? Likes just remind me too much of Facebook and twitter. Beta fiat coded. If you’re here now you should be embracing V4V. We are the ones who must manifest a new world

Like I said, my client doesn't have likes, it has reactions, which can infinitely personalized, and used to transmit information. I don't think every human interaction needs to be monitized by zaps. I don't flip a nickel at my IRL friends for every comment.

The monetization some times just makes me feel weird. I’m mostly interested in just shooting the shit and sharing interests.

Every aspect of human communication doesn't need to be monitized.

Yea it’s an aesthetic preference I suppose. Exchanging a token of scarcity as a positive response to an online interaction makes it feel more real, more meaningful. No need for that IRL but in cyberspace seems like a useful anchor

In the real world sometimes I respond to a comment with a nod, a wry smile, or a frown. Reactions are an online replacement for that. It's why emoticons were invented at the dawn of text based communication, and adopted for use in the digital age.
Also, a lot of people on social media are lurkers, some estimate as high as 90%. Reactions provide a frictionless way for them to interact & respond if they don't want to comment, or send me money for a comment or post.
I'm not against zaps, and as someone who often creates his own content to post on Nostr I find them valuable. But I also realize money isn't the only thing that matters. Knowing that I made someone laugh, or feel emotion, or that they disagree with me is valuable too.
I think onlyzaps is short-sighted, and
