I haven't zapped any large amounts. My default zap is 21 sats, and my max zap is 100 sats. If I had a specific, compelling reason to zap more (ie. lost a bet, making a purchase of some sort, etc), I definitely would, but for the purpose of rewarding quality content, I've found that the 21-100 sat range is just fine. The lower amounts allow me to reward more notes than if I was zapping 500+ zaps.
I have a budget, and I want to be able to reward the most people while staying within my means. Plus, my goal is to increase my holdings over time, and if I'm pretending to be a high-roller with overly generous zaps every day, I'm shooting myself in the foot for sake of promoting an image that isn't authentic.
