Thanks. I don't recall if I ever made the point about how that fosters something closer to evergreenness. If you make a post that people keep coming back to throughout the year, that isn't really rewarded under the daily system, but you might end up with a big payout at the end of the year.
On the evergreenness topic specifically, I wonder if people could get credit for zapping content late, as well as early. Whatever decay function they use, could be modified with another function that grows very slowly over time.
Earliest and latest zaps to quality content is an interesting idea, a bimodal KBC -- dissertation topic right there.
It would make for an interesting mechanism design project. Of course, you pointed out that the elephant in the room here is properly specifying the objective.
There's no way to evaluate a mechanism, unless you know exactly what SN is trying to accomplish.
Annoying how it always comes down to that; and surprising how often people don't seem to realize that it comes down to that.
unless you know exactly what SN is trying to accomplish.
Exactly. What is SN is trying to accomplish?
@Undisciplined suggested an interesting and brilliant idea, I can't find the original post, but it was something like this:
reward distributionreward distribution
The @sn team has already expressed concerns about the difficulty of implementation, but they have not ruled it out entirely.
