338 sats \ 7 replies \ @Undisciplined 28 Dec 2023 \ on: An experiment in kilo-zapping meta

Before my current experiment/quest, I tried raising my default zap 10x and I found that it did change my behavior pretty dramatically. I was much tighter about what I zapped, especially smaller replies in a conversation.

That was actually part of my motivation for trying to more systematically find the right default zap amount. I wanted to continue zapping freely without worrying about going broke.

Now, I'm well above the default zap level that initially changed my behavior, but because of how I got here I was able to maintain the habits I wanted to have. People are weird.

I'm trying to find the level where my zaps balance out with my rewards, so I'm using a very straightforward method of adjusting the default value until I get there.

Once I reach equilibrium, I might think about doing something similar to what you're doing. I have been thinking that I probably should be zapping good posts more than good comments.

did you receive the reward from today?

I did. It was for top posts and comments, not zapping.

Not only does zapping increase your rewards share (on days where zapping gets rewarded), it's extremely non-linear: i.e. being the 2nd highest zapper is worth much more than being 3rd.
