if u feed a cat, u got a cat. parasitic activity is inevitable when subsidies are readily available for very low effort. think about the dynamics of every day life, and apply it to stacker.news model as well. we are dealing with real people after all, even if they program bots and AI-assistants.

I understand what you're saying, but I think that if you end the daily rewards, the SN will end shortly afterwards because the incentives for curators who don't participate much, will end. How do you solve this?

The SN pool system is quite easy to game.

Rewards should be exclusively from p2p zaps. If someone wants to give you the sats for your PoW, so be it, they will zap you the amount they want.

In the end SN always was a "pay to post" system. The rewards were something added later but it degenerate in something really awful.

No leaderboard, No daily rewards !
