I don't totally disagree with this. I think the algo needs adjustment. I was on the site in the middle of the night (eastern time) commenting and zapping people. The new leaderboard rolled out and I started in 3rd and then suddenly I was 4th and the person ahead of me had 2 comments with no replies or zaps and 124 sats zapped. How did they pass me when I had zapped thousands of sats and was carrying on a conversation with 3 or 4 people and zapping back and forth. They just happened to zap the right post or comments from top value stackers.
I am not complaining I get a lot of sats rewards but something is broken with the algo when I routinely see stackers in the the top 10 with 2 comments and a few hundred sats zapped meanwhile guys like Tom are posting great econ information multiple times a day and interacting with commenters and they are ten places lower than someone who spent like 2 minutes on the site. Illogical.
I understand the need to control spam which is why the algo is so skewed to value but it is creating reflexivity where stackers only want to zap and engage with top posts and users. That is not healthy long term.
I agree, but if you look at the graphs for when people post, when we are on everyone else is off. @grayruby when we are posting, most arent replying.

There is definitely a weekday eastern/central time zone posting advantage.

Yeah, I have noticed the same. The best you can do is post as early as you can so it can be seen. I have noticed if I post stuff at night it just gets buried.
