Also, I think new stackers need to be reminded once again by @Undisciplined, @Natalia and me that you earn more when you zap more.
You can remind the newbies as much as you want but only those will understand who care to read. Often new Stackers don't read in full.
I'm new here and I care to read and I've learnt that zapping more is essential part of SN mechanism.

Well done! You're doing great! I see you're running all guns blazing here! ๐Ÿ˜‰ Keep it up! It's because of you, that I'm recieving a good amount of sats in referal too.

Thanks! You were 100% right.
Stacker News is the best platform.
It's so good that I can't even say that it's better than any other social media platforms.
Thank you @coinsreporter for showing me the right path. I've deleted all social media platforms except one which I have to for communication purposes.
reply
It's impossible to delete all social media platforms, how do you hear the latest news or see videos?
reply
We all have TVs for that purpose.
reply
ha ha..! That's right, TV is everything.

I think it takes time for everyone to learn this lesson. I was only zapping 10 sats when I started. Now I zap comments 20-50 and posts minimum 100.
reply
10 sats? You were generous out of the gate! I was zapping 1 sat for probably the first two weeks. I remember making a complementary comment on a post without zapping at all, and getting gently corrected by an experienced stacker.
reply
Yes, the same has happened with me when someone, I don't remember exactly, told me the importance of zapping and then I searched and a few articles related to zapping and understood the real value of zapping more.
reply
It's kinda breaking for me! You started with 1 sat zap, can't believe it!
In my starting, I was mostly reluctant to even zap 1 sat to anyone. If they zapped me, then I zapped them back that too only 1 sat. I might have done to you this as well. But this didn't go on very long. Within a few days, I realised it's better not to think too much about being zapped on a comment or a post. I should rather shift thinking towards producing some fun and value content. A little shift in thinking worked wonders for me and I started zapping at least 10 sats, no matter the comment or anything I read have value or not.

Two weeks? You're a quick learner. I was doing it for at least two months.
reply
It could have been longer. I try not to think about it too much.
reply
Haha! Two weeks isn't quick to understand it. It's quite visible from the moment you land here. It's just we couldn't accept the reality for ourselves. We should all confess that in the beginning our avarice for hoarding more sats out of our generous Stackers had been a reality.
We all got greedy in the beginning. Didn't we?
reply
I started with 1 sat!
It took me months to realise that I was doing it all wrong. Now, I'm zapping much more freely. 11 to 1000 anywhere in between. 100 sat zap is like minimum for value posts.
11, 17, 21, 101 are for comments.
But to the Stackers who I know in person, when I've brought them here, I told them to at least zap 10 sats. They are doing the same and I see they are very much successful from the beginning.
reply
Yes itโ€™s an interesting incentive program here and takes awhile for some to pick up on it, some never do. I wonder how usage has been since the Madness challenges?
reply
Yes, you're right.
Often new Stackers don't read in full.
The one reason that I can think of is most of the newly joined Stackers here aren't habitual of consuming value 4 value content.
Some may not be good readers.
Some don't have interest in reading long articles.
I can suggest that new Stackers should start with comments. They should read comments here and if they can, they should try to add up some value.
