60 sats \ 10 replies \ @Undisciplined OP 14 May \ parent \ on: Only Cowboys Get Rewards: and other ideas meta
0x brought that up in the saloon. What do you think is going on there?
I think the reward algo is far too skewed to optimizing for top posts and comments and likely punishes for zapping and commenting on a lot of stuff rather than taking a surgical approach and just focusing on the top few posts of the day.
I understand why it is set up this way. You don’t want people spamming to just get rewards but clearly that’s not what 10, 11, 12 are doing. We are all good stackers.
Btw this is not a complaint. Just evidence that maybe the rewards system does need adjusting.

When we were talking about it, I don't think nullcount had any comments. My guess is that he's instantly zapping a tiny amount to all the likely top posts. It's hard to believe that's enough to generate those rewards.

Im just curious how someone gets zapped that much.
Not that it isnt right.
But also, sometimes its very skewed when you look at spent, commented, and posted.
What if there were different categories?
Ones for commenters, posters, and stackers who spend or donate the most?

It's a great question. My thinking now is that he's waiting for k00b or davidw to leave comments (or the other top commenters) and he's zapping those right away. It probably takes many fewer sats to be the top early zapper of top comments than it does for zapping posts.
When we used to get the more detailed rewards breakdowns, I was almost always 2nd or 3rd in comment zapping. Maybe null was first (and doing it much more efficiently than I).
