not really, the weekly random pick em always ends up in the top filter for a day
I feel the ranking of posts, at least under the top posts, should be ranked impartially.
That disrupts the competition right?
So many people are waiting to be featured on the top filter, you would definitely need bias to cut out the posts which lose edge
Yeah, I don't have a full handle on it. I'm confident there's nothing in the code that systematically suppressed ~Stacker_Sports, but something about who zaps (and perhaps who downzaps) is hurting us.
As @k00b often says, our best path forward is just to make a better product, whatever the explanation, so that's our focus.

I believe it.
However you can see that you (only you) zap the same amount to a post in ~Stacker_sports and zap a post in ~Ask_SN or even in ~econ, you'll see anomalies in the rankings.
Maybe you are right about downzapping. And it may be that someone always readily downzaps posts from SS.

I've never experimented much with that. It does defy my understanding of the system.
Maybe mutes have something to do with it. I know ~Stacker_Sports is a heavily muted territory.

I just think that things should be more transparent for everyone's understanding. Things like how a 10 sat zap (by 1 stacker) post be above a post zapped in hundreds (by more than 1 stacker).
If nothing else the trust based (discreet) system applied here on SN creates a lot of confusion.
If it has to do anything with downzaps, they can be available like other details.
If it has something else like 'whatever trust score it generated', it may be provided in the details)
(I don't know if this is easier said than done)

. You can see this happening to most of the posts in the territory. Contrary to SS Posts published in territories like ~Ask_SN end up much above even with less zaps or engagement. I feel the ranking of posts, at least under the top posts, should be ranked impartially.
