One thing is sure that less posts are seeing 'zero' these days. I think it's because everyone anticipates a good performance for the post based on his perception. This is kind of fun and better for SN I believe.
Talking about early zapping, I think it's good. Everyone's efforts should be appreciated. Also, I don't think that only the early zapping to a top post can rank someone very high on the leaderboard, except for a slow day. If more Stackers are engaged on SN on any given day, the early zapper advantage subsides automatically.
For a few times on SN, I've zapped aone or more top posts before everyone else, but only because of that, I never ranked higher. I did rank higher only when I've a top 10 or tpp 20 post, one or two top comments, early zapping (may or may not be the first one but early), avoiding shit posts.
I also think that we are exaggerating early zapping for SN.
This is a pretty well known issue that has been confirmed k00b.
It's not that zapping a single top post early (within seconds) will shoot you up the leader board. What some of these people are doing is zapping any likely top post very quickly with a small number of sats.
That's the most efficient way to rank high in post zapping. It only has a dramatic effect if it's done persistently, because the reward isn't very high unless you rank 1st.

Have you seen 1 Sat zap to many post by someone? That was just ridiculous!
The postive effect as I already said is we're getting almost every post zapped. Zapping is done on more posts now than it was done before. I think now when everyone knows it more Stackers are trying it and not to mention some who pretend to be 'Haters' of this trend have been doing it.
I strongly believe that there's no need to overstress 'the early zapping does this or that'. Why I'm saying this because I haven't seen more than a couple of instances where it was indicative of 'a gamer sitting in top 10 of the leaderboard'.
It may also be that to whom we're looking as gamer has been on the top ranks for more than one reason. The reason might be that he zapped only top posts (not a single post or comment) and yes before others.
This leads me to a question.
Does zapping some low quality content lowers your leaderboard rank?

No, it just doesn't help.
I don't worry about this early zap gaming either, but I wanted to let those who are bothered by it know that if they zap posts more then it will be less pronounced.

I see.
What would you like zaps or sats? I know you'll say zaps.
If 100 stackers zap 10 sats, it still is thousand but sometimes Stackers starting with a 1000 sats.
Overall, I'm enjoying all these talks in the threads and learning on the way.

I want thoughtful comments. The sats and zaps are much appreciated, but I'm here because there are thoughtful people to talk to.
