10 sats \ 2 replies \ @birdeye21 OP 16 Sep 2023 \ parent \ on: What have you learned from Stacker News? meta
The only point where I disagree here. We obviously don't want to deincentivize zapping which I'm sure we agree on, but I think actually incentivizing more zapping and getting that zap velocity up is what will make SN a more vibrant exciting place to be! If everyone zaps more, people may not necessarily be losing too many satoshis if those sats end up coming back around quicker to posters/commentors
If I zap 1 sat or 100 sats in one upvote for your comment, it will get the same trend ranking.
But if 100 stackers will zap you 1 sat then it will have a better ranking position... you understand what I mean?
The amount of sats I will zap you is more like an appreciation for the content , from me, but the vote remain just one.
I myself I have specific ranks in offering sats: 10 - 21 - 100 - 1000 - 2100 etc depending on how I see that content important for me. This is something that you cannot find elsewhere.

I see and yeah I agree. The amount of satoshis people zap isn't necessarily what should be incentivized, but the frequency at which people zap I think is important! Zapping often indicates active zappers -- let's get that number as high as we can! But yes, the tricky part is incentivizing generosity while also weeding out the bad content that doesn't deserve zaps
