What I am finding is most of the activity on SN is really only happening in a 6-8 hour window tied to eastern and central time in North America and the evenings on the weekend are even worse than during the week. I have been trying to jump on and post and zap at different times but no one is around.
So because everyone is on during a short period of time all the content is being produced in that time and people are trying to maximize their zaps and rewards.
I do also agree that a lot of newer stackers aren’t zapping that much.

This is odd, because I feel like we also have a larger share of the active stackers who are on the other side of the world.

Yes, and they are all posting around the same time we are posting because that's when they get the most sats. We have a bit of time zone inertia going.

Ironically, they might get more by being the only ones posting stuff for us to read on weekend evenings. I'm often feeling pretty zappy, but there's nothing to zap.

This is the problem. Sometimes I jump on late at night when everyone has gone to bed and I am bored and there is hardly anything to zap. I have posted a couple times late at night too and gotten almost no sats and then in the morning the post will get sats. I don't know how to solve this problem.
I was pro scheduled posts but I think they are just going to make this worse.
I do think it will help when new stackers start zapping more.

This is why I've always been anti-scheduled posts. I'd rather we improve evergreenness than schedule posts.
