> How many sats are you actually willing to burn to police the feed?

This is a great question. 

I suppose the alternative to downzapping is that people zap the things they like with more frequency and to a greater degree. This would make it so that slop and bots and self-zapping boosts have to work harder for attention. 

But at the moment a 1k sat zap gets you on the front page pretty reliably.

Downzapping is a temporary band-aid, not a permanent solution. People can simply boost their posts, and bots will just keep generating similar spam. How many sats are you actually willing to burn to police the feed?

I generally prefer to just ignore posts I don't care for rather than downzapping or muting stackers over a difference in taste. However, I'll admit there are certain posts that absolutely deserve to be downzapped.
