Someone games it and we stop following them. Right? Just like any other form of being a cunt or attention seeking/ annoying behaviour.

Yeah but will you know it's been 'gamed'.
As someone else said yeah you can look at the profile that is zapping to check legitimacy of acct and whatnot. But if there is a point where a feed is 'ranked' by zaps. It could put a lot of spam in there by boosting their own junk.
Just being devils advocate here. Love the idea and how zaps work. But no one is doing the good ole SWOT
Also if bob is constantly zapping Alice. On every content for absurd amounts we can probably derive bob and Alice are one in the same
I see what you're saying, but if I keep seeing shit from someone I'll just unfollow them. Doesn't matter if they're gaming it... gaming it so they appear on my feed more often is just them paying to remind me to unfollow them.
Touche
Also been pondering on this.. no conclusions reached, but something poking at me about seeing the total amount shown.. perhaps total # of zaps better, although I know that's basically like Likes, tho also not, because effort and actual value is given with each zap
Idk, it's something about recreating a popularity culture and longing to avoid that here, while obvs wanting to acknowledge real value..
Love to hear thoughts..
I think the social aspect will weed it out on an individual level like shire and Derek said. The indivual user will just unfollow or block that acct once noticed. But the ease of firing up keypairs could make it a constant battle.
Only time will tell
We will figure it out. I have no doubts.
How would I even see their stuff unless they're doing some kind of annoying dick reply guy thing on my notes? Those peeler get bored anyway.
