0 sats \ 8 replies \ @Undisciplined OP 18h \ parent \ on: Are Stacker News Rewards Too Salient or Are They Not Too Salient Enough? meta
Sorry to stir this back up but apparently I do it every year on this day.
Every so often, someone successfully games the rewards system by zapping small amounts to what will become top posts very quickly.
What happen when somebody downzap instead of zap?
reply
I don't think downzapping bad content is treated the same as zapping good content, but it probably should be.
reply
then how is treated zapping bad content ?
What will happen if I downzap your post with 10k CCs?
reply
You'll put 10k CCs in the rewards, many of which I'll probably get because people will generally zap this post.
Since it scales logarithmically, your 10k downzap will be balanced out by just 4 stackers zapping 10 sats.
reply
I think I read somewhere that at least part of the downzap goes to the territory owner.
reply
Yeah, I wasn't sure about that. I knew the portion that would normally go to the OP goes to the rewards.
That would mean k00b gets 2100 and the rewards gets 7900.

hehe exactly because of that, long time ago I stop downzapping, "donating" to rewards and boost posts. Because the game is rigged and I do not want to feed assmilkers.
And that's why I always sustain:
SN must be a proof of work not proof of milking.

That's a problem that I think would be solved by including the best downzappers in rewards payouts.
