This Jan n Feb, my default zap was 108 or 168, even 328 on one memorable night, because the zapping climate was strong. Any random article I posted regularly garnered me at least 4-5k worth of sats.
Then the zapping culture died down. These days, if I get 1000 sats on an article, I will give myself a pat on the shoulder. So my default zap dwindled down to 21 sats haha.
Recently though, I raised the default amount to 49 sats because I wanna stop being cheap haha. Also trying out a new way of thinking in which I zap to make others (and hence, myself) happy instead of trying to come out on the right side of the Daily Rewards. For comments that took a lot of time for the Stacker to write, I would zap 108 sats.
Yes, I intend to increase it to a point where it is still profitable for me, it is sad to see how the zap culture vanishes, I have also realized that those of us who zap are always the same, one can more or less intuit who is zapping by the amount you receive, many people are not zapping, I think especially the new ones.

It does seem like you can predict zapees…. a lot more people seem to be stacking than sharing….
