You get rewarded for zapping things other people zap/will zap. The goal is to reward people for making SN better.
Most folks primarily zap people for talking to them, people that compliment them, some banal drama that excites them, or mediocre things that they don't read well enough to realize they are mediocre and/or ai slop.
Something weird is happening with the leaderboard. What do you need to do to get on it? I've spent over 400 sats and nothing. That's odd.
Thanks

You replied to the answer. It's not only about how much you zap. It's what you zap (is it so good other people will zap it?) and when (earlier is better).
Maybe we will remove the leaderboard. It seems to be causing a lot of anxiety for folks.

I guess I meet these requirements, but your answer is a bit unclear. Thanks for your help though.

I get what @koob is communicating.
  1. If you zap and no one else zaps then it's probably just a friendly zap.
  2. If you zap and a bunch of other people zap the same thing then it is financially voted as good content and being the early person to see good content you are rewarded for your keen observation.
I hope this makes sense.

Wow! That makes perfect sense and I do believe that I've read that somewhere around here or at least the intention.
I get it. It's basically the longest chain is the truth.
Thank you for explaining this.
