You're right, I've personally reduced the number of zaps in recent weeks, but I've increased their value. But I also think it's normal for people to lower their value.
It's a mistake in general and those who hold steady or even increase their zapping will reap the rewards.
I've been crusading on this for years now: zapping more pays for itself for most stackers. We're still well below the zapping equilibrium.

zapping more pays for itself for most stackers.
yes, if you zap the top posts and top comments.

That's endogenous, though. If you zap a post or comment more, then it's more likely to be a top post or comment.
reply
yep! We're navigating the field of probabilities. But that's not why I stop zapping content that I know won't be TOP. One thing that I think is a bit unfair, but that's how it works and I accept it, is that when high trusted stackers zap something, that post or comment will immediately go into the TOP. This may be because there are few stackers.

I think that's right. There aren't very many highly trusted stackers yet. We could each probably list them off the top of our heads.
More regular stackers will mean less influence from each of us on the rankings.
