I wouldn't say it's broken currently so "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" definitely applies here but I am worried it's breaking slowly over time. Consider this post more like a research article about what we could do, not what we should do. I don't know if we should do this but I want to find out.
I think we're incentivizing zaps enough but we do it in a discriminating manner which isn't what v4v is about. I also mentioned this in #771516.
Exactly, it's not necessarily a problem that needs solving yet but it's worth thinking about the problem the current system causes or might cause and how we could improve.
Personally, I think that as SN scales, the biggest challenge will be surfacing high value posts to the right people, and not letting good, high effort posts fall through the cracks because they didn't get enough attention in the first few hours
That being said, I do like the original idea, that zapping more makes posting cheaper, and letting territories set the policy. I share the concerns of some other stackers that this would have a chilling effect on new or infrequent users, but presumably by putting it in the control of territories they will find the right optimum for themselves
