Yes, he's taken it further and that's what made me disagree with him.
Initially, when I used to comment almost on everything, I remember I didn't like when any of my comment went zapless. I don't care if someone is new and he comments on my post or my comment, I'll still zap him 10 Sats out of my wish to develop a relationship with him.
That used to be my approach. It used to be Darth's, as well.
Every so often SN gets a wave of sat farmers flowing through and during one of the recent ones I noticed I was getting lots of vacuous comments from people I never interact with and who I've never seen interact with anyone. Eventually, I figured out that I was being fed on by leeches, which I don't appreciate.
Feeding parasites only results in an infestation. There's nothing wrong with having standards for who gets your sats.
I also didn't like leaving thoughtful comments and seeing them not get zapped, but that's because I put thought into them. I'm sure that was the same for you.

I'm sure that was the same for you.
Yes,
Feeding parasites only results in an infestation.
Now, I'm also having a limit. I get it when someone new shows up, I don't zap without looking at his bio and content on SN. It often gives an idea who we're dealing with.

I didn't say it quite right initially. It's not that I have to have a relationship with them, but I'm only giving courtesy zaps to people I know are real stackers.
reply
I see.
Who are real Stackers according to you?
reply
Pretty much anyone I'm familiar with. Maybe I haven't interacted with them directly, but I've seen them posting and commenting.
It's a pretty low bar. If someone I'm not familiar with wants their reply zapped, then it needs to have some substance to it.
I should also add that the accounts that triggered this change in me were also leaving lots of vacuous comments on other people's posts. If we just indiscriminately throw bread crumbs to the pigeons, SN threads will fill up with their shit.

We're on the same page here as well.

That's why I said I always look at the bio and content before zapping a new Stacker. This gives an idea who the real Stacker is and who is a parasite.
