I am by no means a mining expert, but, trust me when I suggest you learn the basics of bitcoin before jumping into mining. There is a LOT to learn. I think you are off to a good start earning a few sats here on SN. Next you should listen to some podcasts like @kr 's on the fountain app, where you can also earn sats, and then decide if you want to get into mining.

I don't think about the cost or consider the lack of reward. I just downzap what I feel should be downzapped.
I happened to be SN briefly around 3am this morning and I saw a new user joined and their first post was just a cut and paste of your entire Punishment as a Public Good post. Clearly they saw the numbers you did and were trying to get some sats. I downzapped, then downzapped their bio post, then left a snarky comment.
If Stackers want the best possible SN environment they should take the approach that the cost is worth it long term because if the site is riddled with spam, sats farming and garbage posts SN will not likely succeed and that will be a net loss to all stackers both from a community perspective and a financial perspective.
Downzapping can be looked at as a maintenance cost.
