Why do likes need to be cheap?
What has more actual value, a like or a comment?
Also, ask yourself, which flow leads to better content and community.
A posts twetch for free, then B and C answer. A likes B's answer. What happens next?

I love the dopamine hit of seeing an notification and an extra $0.04 hit my wallet!!

@3 a like needs to be more expensive than a post - encourages discussion
make it too cheap, and people will like and move on without comment

The scale should to be adjusted..
In general people are 5-20 more likely to hit the like button than reply, and 10-40 more likely to hit like than to branch. Generally speaking, if you look at general rations of posts from any platform.
Branching interesting info should cost more than a like. Makes people think twice about sharing valuable info vs non valuable info.
I would rather pay $0.01 per like and $0.05 to branch than the other way around.
I think there is a better balance in doing that
Coffee hasn’t kicked in yet, not sure if I delivered my message properly but you’ll get the gist of what I’m trying to say
$0.02 a like, $0.05 a branch
I want at least $0.01 to hit my wallet for an interaction. $0.01 a like doesn't do that.

I agree that branching should cost more than liking.
Branching is using the post, potentially bringing engagement to the brancher's account, so it is right that it pays to do it.
Liking can be less expensive and users that want to give more can click several times or use /pay
