I'm eager for the ensuing discussions about what kind of rewards experiments should be tried based on this great work you've done.
Something that came to mind while reading through your post, is that we may want to have rewards over multiple timeframes: i.e. weekly rewards and monthly rewards, in addition to daily. I think that might help smooth out some of the morning congestion.
Also, we had discussed some form of peak-load pricing, which also might smooth out some of the morning posts.
Peak-load pricing, as in making it more expensive to post something during prime hours on the platform? It reminds me of electronic road pricing, a scheme that charges road users money for using expressways during peak hours in my country haha

Same idea. This came up before territories launched and we were trying to think through how to reduce the spammyness of the main feed.
My simple idea was to have posting fees = the number of posts in the past hour. Back then the posting fee was only one sat.
To update the idea, we'd probably want each territory owner to be able to set their own peak-pricing mechanism. Now it would help address the issue of low territory revenue, in addition to cutting down on spam.

I think about your peak pricing algo all time.

Now that we have different territory owners, it could eventually be a useful policy lever for them.

He highlights 9-12 EST several times in the post.

ahh thanks! You were too quick off the mark! I saw that and deleted it quickly but you'd already replied 😆 All very interesting, I had been suspecting this, as I'm in Europe currently and a lot of activity happens overnight for us.

Yeah, I think anchoring to the Texas time zone might be leading to some gamification that works against our European and Asian Stackers.
I've seen sites randomize their equivalent of the reward deadline, in order to give everyone a fair shake.

Sometimes feels like you could post something really awesome morning Europe time and it's tumbleweed time

If I'm interpreting this post correctly, I think a lot of European morning posts get overlooked, because a flood of American morning posts bury them.
I guess the issue is that people show up in the morning with a post in mind, If they looked for content to read first, then those European posts would get more attention.
