I went the other way. The Super Bowl is my favorite, but I picked Olympics, because sometimes it gets me interested in sports that I don't normally watch.
I am wondering about your AMA thesis. A hidden stacker jumped over both scoresby and I today. I know there was a big AMA yesterday with a ton of zaps, comments and 50k boost. I wonder if it is the host. I think posts that get tens of thousands of sats get a huge boost in rankings. Look at davidw he is still living large off that one 200k post.

That wouldn't surprise me. The comments in those are pretty active, too, so I think they end up with decent comment scores and comment zapping scores.
I actually have the month's top posts up right now and davidw has two 100k posts, which isn't quite as good as one 200k. That's probably why siggy is probably ahead of him.
I'm not sure if you noticed, but natalia dropped a hint that she's in the top 10 today. She deleted it as soon as I pointed it out, of course.

I really don't understand how this all works. Look at the hot posts. KR's post about urban planning is ahead of btc_bellzer cover post with half the sats and KRs post is just me trolling him and then him trolling me back. Now I zapped his comment 1k sats so maybe that is why? But it doesn't make sense.

Hot is based on your trust scores with people, so it's different for everyone. Top is based on the global trust scores, so it should be the same for everyone.
Still, your point stands. The zaps and comment counts jump around like crazy.

Maybe she was the one that jumped scoresby and I. She has been posting more recently whereas before she was mostly commenting. Hmmm

I don't think anyone knows how much she's zapping content, either. Her big posts were a few days ago, so my guess is that she's been near the top the whole time. Her and 0xbitcoiner behave somewhat similarly, so it would make sense if they were near each other.
You probably got jumped by that AMA.

I like this line of thinking. I would probably pick super bowl just because it is my favourite of these events but Olympics is probably the one event that gets me watching sports I don't watch. Even the world cup I don't really pay attention to until the semis and finals. March Madness is great but I always watch basketball, just not college basketball, so I wouldn't say it is enticing me to do anything totally out of my norm.
