It would be interesting to run an experiment. Inactive Stackers in Group A to receive a notification wrt their sats. Compared to inactive Stackers in Group B to receive a short message about how they have been missed or general updates of SN. We can see which nudge works better.
I actually think the Zap Big. Zap Often banner is a brilliant idea. But I fear Stackers might be desensitised to it in the long run. It’s like how smokers don’t break a sweat when they see gross adverts depicting the harmful effects of smoking on the cigarette boxes
The thing with anti-smoking campaigns is that it actually worked in America. It's become pretty uncommon for people to smoke here. Maybe it should just say "Zap Well" or "Happy Zapping!", which would come off more affirmatively.
I like the experiment idea. Don't forget control group C, though.

Given how rampant the vaping culture is in Singapore, even among elementary school students, I find America’s relative absence of smoking culture amazing!

It is strange. I can't think of anything else like it. We don't exercise, eat healthy, or abstain from other drugs, despite massive campaigns, but smoking is largely gone.
