in my opinion it comes down to taste. does twetch do be used in a similar way as tiktok insta fb etc. or does it want to work against the zombification of social media users. i think the like button is a gamification element and as such should be handled with care, as not to become like those other addicitive platforms. but for increasing user metrics, sure, twetch could change to be more "successful". 

correct me if i'm wrong but isn't there also an argument that twetch does not need mass adoption precisely because the micropayments support  a small community platform and we don't need that growth factor to survive?
