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.
