Oh, could also be related to what @k00b mentioned here:
It'd be interesting to see what your results would be like if we didn't handicap your zapping rewards. We give ourselves 1/5th the rewards of the lowest reward tier. Your zapping rewards would be ~10x higher otherwise.
I didn't check the code yet but this makes sense. I also usually play games on hard difficulty. I like challenges :)
Sheesh, it's just non-stop excuses from you.

lowest reward tier? I don't quite understand this.

There are 3 trust tiers for zap rewards (more trust, more rewards). Tier 2 gets twice the rewards of Tier 1, Tier 3 twice the rewards of Tier 2.
All the SN team members and accounts get 1/5th of the rewards of Tier 1 - meaning we get 1/20th of the share of zap rewards we'd otherwise get.

how these trust tiers thing works?
like did stackers have their own individual trust score or is more like mentioned by @ekzyis here
zap_trust is your trust [from the PoV of another stacker] which is only earned by historically voting for things other stackers deem are good that stacker deems good.

Every stacker has a global trust score. Rewards use these global trust scores which factor in the PoV of everyone.
Ranking of posts/comments use local trust scores when they're available, ie you're logged in and have a significant affinity for another stacker's zap taste as indicated by your zapping.
reply
the global trust score seems like including everyone that we had interacted with, like
  • the more stackers zapped you, more trust?
  • historically voting for things other stackers voted to
  • ever got downzap?
a bit tricky to understand the local trust scores, don't we all log in to zap? 🤔

the more stackers zapped you, more trust?
We only consider what we call zap trust currently, which does not factor in stackers zapping you. It factors in stackers zapping things you've already zapped. For example:
  • if on Day #1 you walk into a restaurant and order meal #2, then I walk in after you later that day and order meal #2
  • then on Day #2 you order meal #5, then I order meal #5
  • and so on
If I generally order the same thing as you, day in and day out, without knowing what you've ordered or that you even exist, then the restaurant owner might conclude I trust your taste in meals. If one day the restaurant owner were forced to pick a meal for me, they'd just serve me what you ordered that day because I trust your taste in meals.
don't we all log in to zap?
Yes, so if you're logged out you only see global post/comment rankings.

so to earn trust, the way is to find out all the good stuff in each hidden restaurants before others?
and from my understanding, local trust basically affect what we see in SN ( gently personalize feeds ), but then sometimes I would look at the top comments, and it only takes one or few zaps to be on top, quite interesting.

Well, guess we have our first topic for SSL #1 :)
reply
yes, could we decode the trust score ( it almost sounds like cowboy credit score )
