Warpcast

A “like” that has no value produces a signal that has no meaning. What if each “like” assigned cost you 0.1 warps? Or cost some fractional ownership of an NFT you own? Would a tiny bit of friction be so bad if produced a better signal?

How do you tell if a like has no value or a lot of value? The only obvious one to me is if it’s a bot.

It does feel a bit meaningless without some form of scarcity attached to it

I guess that's kind of what I'm driving at. If we can't imbue likes with any meaningful signal/value, why are we even bothering with them? I suppose if a network extracts value from its users, likes serve a purpose of keeping them engaged even if users themselves don't really benefit from them. But that's the old way.
