Boost is improperly calibrated. My hope is to replace is with a self-zap, cuz more familiar UX, and makes its impact log10 with the size of the self-zap like with normal zaps.

It wanders up and down. I haven't seen it higher than about halfway up the first screenfull (maybe sixth or seventh place?) and when I loaded the site just now it was eleventh, below things like "Taste and see that the Lord is good" (221 zaps, 1 comment) and the new daily saloon (no zaps or comments yet).

As @k00b wrote above, the boosts don't behave the way one might expect.

Does it appear low in the front page?  It's #3 in `Hot` for me.  Though, I can't remember if `Hot` is still personalized or not.

WTF is a distributed consensus?

anon

1. if anon is still reading, why did you boost this? I think most people will not bother reading all of that, and the people who do, would probably have sought out this sort of content even without the boost...
2. SN meta - the post appeared quite low down[^1] on the frontpage. shouldn't boosted posts be close to the top?

[^1]: ok "low down" is an exaggeration, although #1237966 appeared above it, and has only 380 zaps at the time of this comment's editing. maybe because it was anon posted?
