Great analysis @jenkinrocket! Take note of this please @zappl :P
I started zapping few days ago, and it still annoys me that my zaps are appearing on my Steemit blog (especially when I don't zap the same topics as my blogs). But Im still doing it because I believe its the responsibility of Steemit's devs to 'fix' this issue rather than having users to work around the devs.
You know what I'm saying? The devs should be adjusting the platform to serve our needs, rather than we adjusting our needs to serve the platform.. If the users have to do the latter, then the platform ain't gonna last long
Hmm. Fair point. Actually this point is quite subtle. You're correct: this is a dev issue. While it's tempting to opt for some work around like a second account, it's wiser to see what the devs do, first. In this light a second account might only be advantageous for high volume users of Zappl who already have substantial SP and a large following.
