Yeah I gotcha, but what's happening is that these posts that I'm making, and where I boost them - they normally get enough zaps to MORE THAN pay for the sats I use to boost them. 

But that's not happening anymore.

That’s not how downzaps work. They go to the rewards pool from the downzapper

I've just been checking my details for previous posts that were more political (Israel, Charlie Kirk, Iran war, etc).

And DAMN! Many of them have been downzapped! Gotta investigate this. I had no idea. I just today realized that my total sats has been getting depleted. I've never had that issue before, my balanced actually increased steadily even though I was actively zapping. But people zapped me back, so I was okay.

But now with this downzapping happening, I'm almost gone...

Are political posts (Iran war, Israel) actively downzapped on Stacker News?

Gotta look into this more.
