Thanks for your feedback. I maybe should mention that I am just shooting from the hip here and just think there might be some zap incentive out there that is better than we currently have. Lower fees for zaps might be it or not.

A Theory of Everything for Zaps?

There's a fine line between echo chamber and rewarding content users value. That's the fundamental incentive problem across media.

You know that I'm all for experimenting, but remember that not everyone shares that attitude.

I don't actually think the current structure devolves into an echo chamber, unless all of the top zappers have hyper aligned preferences and only zap content that conforms to their/our worldview.
