Does the rewards algorithm only look at posts and comments from the preceding day? If so, does that mean that content posted right before rewards are paid gets penalized?
From the rewards write up: “These rewards go to stackers who either created or zapped one or more of the top 33% of posts and comments from the previous day”
For example, if this post got 50 sats from zapping until rewards are paid out in a couple hours, then I got 250 sats tomorrow, would the sats tomorrow be excluded from the rewards algorithm?
Also, I still don’t know what assmilking is because there isn’t a thread that defines it, people just keep using the term - is it posting low effort content for sats?
Literally this
There's an old thread on SN but can't find rn.
Basically is milking opportunities without providing any good content whatsoever:
Yes sometimes you could reply with a meme of just an "ok, thanks" but that doesn't mean it should be rewarded. is just a meaningless answer in the sense of value).
and the list can go on and on with many example.
SN users, especially those who zap frequently MUST be careful who they zap and for what. They should first look at the OP history, what they usually post, comment, behavior, frequency etc. and not at last what they really want to say with their comment. Just because I comment your comment it doesn't mean I would expect you to zap me. No way. But I PAID to comment and ONLY if YOU consider that what I said it gives you more value, than you can zap me few sats.
Thanks for reposting this, and sorry for being impatient - I was digging through on the other post and couldn’t find a thorough definition (and some comments led me away from the answer).
So are you fully against commenting on memes / other content with short answers and just rely on zaps? Coming from other platforms I feel the need to comment to show engagement and appreciation for the post, and I don’t expect zaps (to your point, it’s not valuable content). A zap doesn’t feel as strong of an affirmation of a comment, and feels like a post is bad if it has no comments but has zaps. Maybe it’s just a shift I have to get used to, but I’d imagine as users join they may have that same feeling.
When you should zap a post?
When you should NOT zap a post?
I'm referring to replies. The zapping logic makes sense
But you also zap people to promote / endorse content, so the incentives should be correct, which is why I’m asking this…
Yes, I zap content, but not like others here...
I didn’t mean “you” like DarthCoin, I meant “you” like “users of SN also zap people” etc
Yes, I know. I just wanted to point out, that there are many ways to "reward" content on SN.
When I say "spend your sats wisely" it doesn't mean you should not zap content at all.
But depending on the situation, context or content, you could just zap 10 sats or 10k sats.
Sometimes I zap as anon, because I do not want to be reflected in my SN user stats how much I zap and more importantly what kind of content I zapped and when. But I can assure you, I zap constantly and ONLY that content that deserve it.
