I cannot give you the best answer for all those questions because I do not have the right information data. I think only SN founders and admins can give you the best answer to this post.
What I can give you is MHO about how I see SN until now (being one of its first users).
  1. I see SN like were the faucets in the early days of Bitcoin
People were receiving a lot of sats for almost doing nothing. But that was a method to bring new users easily. In those early days, was needed more testing and people using it, in order to understand it. SN is doing something the same, but in small quantities. As I always said, be wise with zapping. Not everything on SN merit a zap, especially a large amount of sats.
  1. SN is designed to be a better reddit but instead of upvote/downvote will be with sats. Users MUST feel "the pain" when they zap 1 sat or 1000 sats. Upvotes on SN are the same as on reddit, one user = one vote. But SN is adding something new, the incentive of amount of sats, not just the vote. The amount of sats is ONLY the zapper appreciation to the OP, for its effort. But that is not affecting the "ranking" of that post. Is more like a V4V reward.
  2. All those thinking that SN is an "assmilking" cow... they are wrong. SN is a fair reward system, driven only by each stacker "sats power".
In all this MSM experiment I zapped more than usual. Why? Because I wanted to see how the algo is working or not. But usually I am very careful with how much and to who am I zapping.

I like the analogy to an old-timey faucet -- SN as faucet is a fascinating way to think about it.
