To make a post rank higher, it's better if more stackers zap it, yes. The influence of your own sats on a post is logarithmic. So your first sats have the highest impact.
Also consider that if you zap something a lot of sats but everything else not (much), you're creating a high bias towards the thing you zapped. People see that this one thing got a lot of zaps and everything not much. Not sure if that's what you want.
So imo spread your zaps across more items instead of a few high zaps.
For further reading (if you can read SQL), here is the function which sets the amount of votes based on sats after you zapped an item. And here is the item rank view defined.
I also like this from you:
So imo spreads your zaps across more items instead of a few high zaps.
I do this very often. I don't want to concentrate my zap only on few comments and then realize that are also more to zap, I zap gradually, and if really deserve more sats, I go back and give more. Or even reserve some sats for the replies, if there are.
Thanks for the explanation.

Yes, I do this too!
I really think all this content we create here will become a lot more valuable over time.
When we've got a lot more users (and I mean a lot, like 10x or 100x), old content will be viewed probably more times than it has been so far and will get zapped again.
I sometimes look at old content and think: "Wow, that's really good stuff but it just doesn't have a lot of sats since SN was still very small back then."
But with more and more stackers, more and more stackers will go back and zap these hidden gems. Hopefully, we will also make them more discoverable at the same time and add some incentives to also zap old stuff and not just recent stuff.
But @nemo deletes all his comments so he misses out on this, lol

Oh, no, I have written a lengthy reply even though I started with "will reply in more detail when I'm back home" and I think I lost it by opening SN to search for something while keeping the PWA open (/cc @k00b)
I only wanted to reply to this part:
do consider putting on your adversarial cowboy hat sometime @ekzyis, at least occasionally, it might be good for your future :)
In summary (I really don't want to write all of it again, I think I literally wrote and thought what to write for 20min or something. That's what I get for trying to reply while walking, lol. By the way, also not good from a security perspective, haha), I wrote that I really appreciate your reply and you are right. I used to do this more for privacy, too, not only for security in general - even though privacy is a part of good security.
I'll keep it at this for now. Will reply in more detail when I'm back home :)

Mhh, not sure if I have time today for a proper reply. I have to do some deep work now :) (I thought you invented that term but it's actually a real thing, lol)
I wanted to create a blog post titled "Anonymity, Privacy and Paranoia" anyway at some point. Maybe I can just reply to your comment (without mentioning you) in that blog post :)

Even if I would know who you are, I will never say anything about. That secret will go into the grave with me.
Like with Satoshi. Many old bitcoiners already know who is but will never say it. Is much better like that.

I rarely delete my comments/posts, only if I do a mistake, double post or something like that.
Another thing is this.
I seee many here double posting even that is literally showing them that is a double post. You can't miss that!
I did it once by mistake then I delete my post. It wasn't fair and creates a lot of noise.

I think he is a HNWI but I don't think he pays a lot for privacy and security
I might be wrong though

The new "i lost my keys in a boating accident" will be "I spent all my sats on SN"
