@SirTapTap yeaaaah, this is actually explicitly why qrts were briefly considered, but then ultimately not implemented here

having the ability to airdrop something along with your final word about the thing suuuper-encourages boosting the visibility of things that, well, ain't great

and, i mean, you can still link posts with your commentary! but engaging with what lives underneath is opt-in now, so it ends up being used very differently

@SirTapTap oh yeah! i mostly wanted to bring it up because i think the lack of qrts actually makes people less inclined to use its alternatives

which miiight seem paradoxical, but dunk screenshots were generally used to get around specific limitations about qrts, by people who were used to using qrts normally!

but when something doesn't exist normally as a core concept in the space you occupy, it seems like all of its derivatives become less common too
