I probably would have missed this post if I hadn't been summoned.
I've been encouraging Stacker News regulars to increase those default zaps pretty substantially, because the rewards algorithm pays them back at better than 1:1.
The way I've approached finding the right amount is to set my default at a fraction of what's in my wallet. That way I can stay in the black and have my zaps keep growing until they aren't paying for themselves anymore.
My default zaps were still paying for themselves at 175. I've generally been getting about 5k in rewards for zapping.
Still going strong with a 210 default

Was it paying for itself when they were rewarding zaps?

More or less. I'm a bit reckless on sn, not following the numbers too closely (I come here for fun), but I haven't funded my sn wallet in ages, so so far so good I think.

I established my algorithmic approach because I also like being a bit reckless on SN. This way there's an automatic mechanism that will keep me out of trouble without needing to think about what I'm doing.
