More users, less zaps will become the norm, at some proportion i can't math out. There's only so much money to move around. Most don't have much to spend and aren't capable or motivated to create things to a quality that others consider valuable. Those that are will do well, and they are also the type that are more likely to save over spend since successful wealth accumulation is a multifaceted thing. Then there's the weird psychological side of it all. I've been trying to pay some awareness to my own zap-chology & I find if I see a note garner quite a bit of value from others, I'm less likely to zap any true amount of sats because I'm comparing my current zap wallet balance to what that single note has earned. I have to make conscientious effort to overcome that feeling for situations like supporting the tools that I use or believe in (with the expection of zapraiser goals that are visualized. That motivates me)There's all the little quirks too, like zapping friends first, zapping notes that haven't gotten any activity, respecting onlyzaps people, lowering my bigger zap amounts to avoid the top zap spot in primal... different personalities will handle zaps differently obviously but there will be a common subset of behaviors that emerge, maybe already have. I do have to say, last summer was wild, though, glad I was around for that 💜
