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.

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

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.

No, it's buried a few pages down.

It does show up in Hot for ~Stacker_Sports, as would be expected.
