But then you get into the debate popular vs. good. I Zap all kinds of stackers/posts/comments I zap new stackers just because. But now I know I am destroying my trust by zapping things that aren’t popular.
For example posting content that’s not Bitcoin related doesn’t get that many zaps. So if come to this site and I don’t care about bitcoin your trust can suffer.

You don't lose trust for posting unpopular stuff

These are fair points. If I'm reading the code correctly, your trust can go down from zapping posts that no one else zaps... but I think the effect seems like it would be very small. Still, I wonder if it's unintentional behavior. I do think there's room for an improved trust algorithm that rewards some of the behavior you describe.

This part isn't true anymore, because all trust is territory specific.
