My main opposition to this is visual clutter. That's why we do the hover. The hover isn't great though so maybe the right approach is to do something better than the hover.
I figured that. I know clutter is an important issue. I dont think it would take up much space, but you have a better sense of what would affect user's eyeballs. Also, is there a way to get # of zappers on mobile?

Maybe make it optional in settings? Maybe with the options being the current one, or one where # of zaps is what we see, and hovering shows the amount? Or maybe something that clicking rotates through (similar to the price of btc at the top of a page)?

How about letting Stackers choose to display either the number of Stackers or the zaps?
I think allowing the number of Stackers as an option can shift us away from the prevailing mindset that zaps are the only/main criterion of a quality post.
We can do a A-B version for a week or two, the same way Google does: Google rely upon A-B testing. They release two versions of the software at the same time and receive quick feedback on what approach is more successful. I don’t mind volunteering to have just the number of Stackers displayed on my posts; I suspect it might mean more to me.
