I don't believe in reciprocity. I believe in truth and good content.
I will not zap you because you zapped me in the past. I will zap you because I will consider that your post deserve it.
Do you think there will be zaps of sats when there doesn’t appear to be reciprocity? Without some reciprocity, perhaps the whole zap system will go down in flames. If you get so finicky on zapping, you may find that there are no posts and comments to zap.

You see, I saw many here zapping 10-20-30-50 sats on any comment, just for the sake of zapping, with the mindset that if they zap on each comment they see will get more in daily rewards.
That's wrong behavior and they will regret each sat thrown away.
In the beginning I was also zapping each reply that people gave me. But then I realized that those zaps are for nothing, for a simple reply, for example like you just did "Understood"... is like a confirmation. So I really need to zap you because you understood? No.
Ah you came back and with a reply where you explain something and that answer is useful for me or I like it, then yes, you get my sats.
As I said: zap the good content and zap wisely, not erratically. Damn it are real sats these... WE ARE PAYING FOR EACH POST OR COMMENT HERE. This is what really matters, but people still don't get it.
The leaderboard is a nice game, but you should be aware that you are playing around with real sats, not crap shitcoins.

I've gone through the same evolution on zapping replies.

OK, I guess receiving no zaps might be the remedy for over generosity in the past. I think getting with the program may get you many more steps up the board. It is a conundrum.

It depends what you want to incentivize. I don't go as far as Darth, but I don't feel obligated to zap replies. I am fine with zapping relatively minor comments if they're serving the conversation that's going on.

The incentives point is important. Darth says shit is shit but doesn’t seem to like to try to scrape it off the bottom of his shoe by explaining better posting. My take on it is that lost patience is lost patience and there is no correcting it.

No, it probably isn’t a wash, there is a profit and a loss. That is called entrepreneurship. Learning how to make the profit is important in all endeavors, no matter how small, if you want to make a contribution.

Thank you for the useful reply. Don’t zap this.
