No, no, you're welcome to it. That's not the point. I was simply expecting that for something like your post that I don't expect many people would dislike - it was a good post - that literally got downzapped because you undermined a single person, the reaction to be more principled too. After all, we hear a lot of principled takes here on SN. People with morals that lament the lack of morals in others. So the test was how much of that was true. It's just money after all. Not like we're throwing ourselves in front of a tank.
The test was good, because it also shows that stackers will complain about downzaps before fighting it. And I get it. It's a steep wall. It's not in proportion to what a normal post gets in zaps except those written by stackers most likely to help get higher rewards.
So this is not criticism of you. It's basically of everyone except you.
Ah, sorry, I didn't know you felt that strongly about it. My intention isn't to take advantage of your principled stance, nor to make light of it. I'd be happy to zap you back the amount you spent fighting SS on my joke post, or to send it via lightning.
I appreciate what you're trying to do. I think the main reason I don't join in isn't because I'm trying to save sats, it's because I don't feel like I have the attention bandwidth to really engage or stay on top of this battle. Attention is a scarcer resource than the typical amount of sats we play with on SN, though to be fair some of the zap/downzap battles have been dealing with objectively large sums.
