The lag time of behavior changing is something we're also keeping an eye on. It definitely isn't immediate.

I'll be sure to summarize the results of all these experiments at some point.

Yeah I'm curious as well. Let those posting more, but low quality, filter out when they don't get rewards or zaps and then the ones that do good keep it up. Would love that to happen, just needs enough time for user behavior to catch up. Would be curious of your thoughts on that later in the future after all of this.

SN release: rewards go to top posts/comments, subscribe to stackers, rewards UX

Thanks for sharing!

I totally agree. I slog through recent most days too. The suck is what motivated me to experiment with rewarding it. 

It's pretty clear now that upzapping needs to be incentivized. Many more folks began participating in zapping.

We're hoping to figure out if post/comment quality increases in a similar fashion or has some unknown effect.
