If that's the case, I don't have any objection. The power law is in fact a rule and if that's k00b's expectation, he must have pointed it right after I commented it.

But that's not the case. Ek came and made it look like I was personally hurt with the new method of rewards.
When I wrote this #836081 , I wrote it as a witty remark with sarcasm.
But now after processing my head into it for all day, I've come to a conclusion:
Suppose when SN grows too much, it'll be like an empire where all those who sits with high value will channel the information. They would likely listen what they want, from whom they want, when they want. It's already happening with the content what kings and ministers (the top valued) don't like. They'll zap any content from any of them, be it of high value or not, (seen that 777 sats zap above in the image). This is already going on. See top posts for any day, you'll find "Who zaps" is more important than "how many zap". A post with a lot less zapped and zapped by someone stronger tops a post which is zapped substantially more and by many more stackers.
This is what power law means and I'm against it. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
There's a lot in what you said. One element that people often overlook is that our posts and comments are not isolated. It wouldn't make sense to treat them as though they were.
Through our repeated interactions with each other reputations and relationships develop. There's no mystery in why that translates into zaps and it isn't a problem either. There are people I zap more, because I'm glad they choose to regularly make content here and behave in a way that brings me value. They aren't all OG stackers either.
This is all part of the proof of work paradigm. It isn't that each entry stands on its own. The body of work is cumulative.

Yes, I know. I'm sorry if I went too far.
I want to make it clear that I'm not too sure if I should be concerned because I don't really understand the technical aspect that runs the paradigm. I only said what I saw. I love SN and I'd like to be wrong to see this platform prosper. But at the same time I don't want that a 10 sats zap becomes more powerful than a 100k sats zap.
I think I should stop it here. From now on, I'll be just posting like I've been doing, commenting less to nil like Rsync and specifically not questioning out of curiousity. It's a big time waster and nothing of my business, but I'm here so I'm part of it, so I'll be listening more.
Thanks for your understanding and value discussions.🙏
We had one before as well about something similar. #730012

I get your rationale for giving up commenting, but it's a shame to lose your thoughts.
For what it's worth, even a year ago I wasn't one of the top stackers. I just kept zapping good posts/comments and commenting my feedback.

Yeah, I agree it's not a good idea to lose thoughts, but sometimes, it's good to keep quiet on SN specific thoughts and an absolute silence for those who are targeting me for no reason.
I'll be there on sports as usual, also on economy and some other territories where the OP really gives worth to my words.

glad to hear it
