No, it's buried a few pages down.
Six zappers is on the low end of what shows up in Hot. Sports posts don't generally do well, because most of the high-trust stackers don't zap sports posts regularly.
It does show up in Hot for ~Stacker_Sports, as would be expected.

Yeah, that's what the case is most probably. Let's see if the zaps to winners make any difference. I'm also a high trust stacker ;)
Nevermind but a post in ~econ or some other territories will see a post on the 1st page if you and @grayruby zap that 420 and 250 sats respectively. That's why it seemed like a bit of partiality to me for ~Stacker_Sports, haha
reply
I think that's because trust is territory specific.
When we zap something in ~econ, there are more people who also tend to zap the same ~econ posts so the average trust value of the zaps is higher.
This should also be improved when personalized Hot feeds are reimplemented.

You're right. I agree. But the problem I have is with the posts that have souch less sats by a single zapper but are ahead.

maybe those were zapped by k00b
he gave himself perfect trust early on

right. But who knows!

Yes but have to click more a couple times to find it.
reply
Yes. We (you, I and @Undisciplined) must be very low trust zappers on ~Stacker_Sports!
reply
I think it depends on the activity within the post too. My NFL pick 'ems don't always get on the hot list even though they get sats and a lot of comments because no one is replying or zapping in the comments. Whereas if we are shooting the shit about a trade deadline move with a bunch of people weighing in and zapping, I think that is considered higher value.
reply
Considered
Who considers? A post irrespective of the territory shouldn't be buried if zapped by multiple users, similarly a post should not be ahead from it if only zapped by a single user and only zapped in very low amounts.

Probably the trust system weighs too much on trust and not enough on zaps. The contribution of a zap to an item's trust-weighted-score is: trust * log10(zap). This means that someone with half the trust will have to zap 10 times more to get the same effect as someone with double their trust.
There's also a heavy time decay as well. So your older post is going to be downweighted relative to newer posts.
reply
Actually my math might be wrong with the double/times 10 statement.
But the point is still the same. A proportionate increase in trust has a bigger effect than a proportionate increase in zap amount.

21 sats \ 1 reply \ @grayruby 4 Nov
Yeah I have no idea. Seems very odd. A couple of those are AI posts as well. Haha

I see traitors everywhere, haha.
