They weren't real stackers. Many were bots and other accounts trying to game the rewards system.
A couple of months ago, the SN team increased the fee on zaps and those grifter accounts went away.
So, you mean 181 stackers who zapped on this #379225 were mostly grifters?
reply
I'm sure some of them were, but there are a couple of other factors to keep in mind.
The rewards system has changed over time. Zapping may have been more heavily rewarded back then. I don't remember exactly when it was, but there was a period where zapping was the only way to earn rewards.
Many stackers did leave after Million Sat Madness. That's why I emphasized what's happened since June.

Okay I get it a little bit. There were times when people zapped to earn rewards. But I think this is the same even now. Stackers earn rewards for zapping, I think.
But you've to agree that for some or the other reason stackers Who were zappers disappeared and this procession is continuously going on.
SN is such a great platform, I don't know why the entire world is still not here even after 3 years.
Zapping as I said is the soul of SN which we have to rely on for the success of SN. (I may be wrong).

I agree with the first part, but not the second. Since June, I don't think we've lost many zappers.
You do get rewarded for zapping now, but it was more than twice as much when they were running that experiment.
reply
I get it.
From June it seems thd median of zappers on top posts is about same.
I can confirm it because I've seen the number of zappers on every top post since January this year.
Do you also think zapping is the soul of SN?
reply
Sort of. I think the rewards system that incentivizes zapping is the soul of SN.
