Top Stackers

Ever since reviving ~ai I've bumped up 3-4 places in the top stacker list, but this seems to be mostly due to territory rewards? In fact, I feel that the main contributor my "top stacker" status comes from being active and getting rewards for activity rather than for great content; after all, I often rank higher than @denlillaapan, who provides more and higher quality content than I do, and gets more upzaps - the discrepancy between top-stackers-by-value vs top-stackers-by-stacking seems large at times.

Does it make sense to have a ranking that ignores rewards and territory income / expense? Just checking what y'all think.

reply

I thought it was all just sats revenue...?

reply

I guess the question that I'm asking is: are rewards really "revenue"? Maybe I should formulate my question better.

reply

Yea....?

How do you mean that they're not?

reply

I think that the rewards skew it a bit, because of the distribution mechanism (and the daily 50k sats subsidy.) On top, as I said, I'm not sure if territory revenue should be counted under stacking revenue, as this is - at least how I see it - a distinct money flow.

So I turn up in "top stackers" now not because of the content I contribute, but because of the sats I receive to make up for what I spend on maintaining territory. To me, this makes it feel as if the top stackers list isn't apples-to-apples, after all, you can't run sports or bitcoin or asksn, because those are monopolized.

Also since the top stackers' list includes rewards, if I were posting a lot of half-great content on Monday when there was a big boost, but you were posting a lot of really-great content on Tuesday when there wasn't, then I will, despite stacking less than you on my actual content, have a very good chance to be ranked above you.

Therefore something feels off, but I guess I should just not be lazy and read the code.

Hm... So you mean territory fee propels you higher, or "passive" income from unrelated zaps in your territory increases your rank?

reply

The former.

reply

Wooo this has got to be a record on lateness.

reply

That's pretty good, considering it's still Saturday.

reply

No one is ever thirsty around you. The glasses are always half full.

reply

I don't know how I still made the top stackers list. I was hardly on SN this week.

Step it up guys.

reply

Wow @OneOneSeven dropped out the cowboy race

reply

'The Rise of the Cowboys' or 'The Fall of the Cowboys' which is a better title?

reply

"Fall" is more realistic
