I got 70 SATs in my @sn wallet.
30% seems to be high fee on ZAPs!!!

Fix...

You're gonna get a lot of mileage out of this meme.

Lol you tell him!

Due to excessive zapsturbation. (people zapping themselves to rank higher in the hot/top lists and in the rewards pool and get more sats).

Personally, I think it is a bit high but it is something they wanted to test. I like 20%.

I prefer a graduated scheme, where long-running, active accounts can have lower sybil fees and newer, less active accounts have higher fees (after some grace period for newbies).

Honestly, though, I'm pretty content paying a 30% tax to have access to this service right now. There's nothing else like it on the internet as far as I can tell

You also have to consider that some of the taxes come back in the form of rewards. Look at it like a tax return. Haha.

I think it's fine! They've given us such a great platform! The 30% zap tax is still better than government tax lol

Also, I think 30% tax goes to rewards?

No it's the sybil fee. Downzaps don't take sats from you they just reduce the trust rank of the post/comment.

From the faq:

To make this feature sybil resistant, SN takes 30% of zaps and re-distributes them to territory founders and the SN community as part of the daily rewards.
