I really have to be not lazy soon and start reading SN's source code. There must be a way to keep an item hot without boosts, and without trust, this ought to be doable by anyone, not just territory owners and SN devs.

Is simple and I was screaming out loud here for long time:
  • remove totally the rewards pool
  • make SN to be a real "pay to post" thing, SN could get and live from 30-50% fees of any zap.
  • boosts must go only to territory owners not to general pool and a cut to SN to pay the bills. Then if the territory owner wants to redistribute the boosts into rewards is his own policy and nobody have to judge them. Look at what is doing siggy, he literally give back to posters in weekly top posts and stuff like that. I think he's even paying more then he get from his territories.
  • the SN general pool should be ONLY formed from downzaps, like the shameful pool
But anyways, SN consider me a troll saying out loud all these aspects... when in fact I love SN (remember I am one of the oldest members here) and I just want to be a good tool for bitcoiners (not shitcoiners and assmilkers).

Not many territories are profitable; that's why there's churn. It's a net cost for me too.
So what I really like in the recent change is that downzaps no longer go for 70% to the territory, but fully to rewards. This takes away an incentive for the territory to have bad content (because bad content would before generate relatively high income) It also redistributes sats to those that wrote good content - for their trouble of being confronted with the bad content?
I agree with pay-to-post > post-to-earn.

Is really hard to think how to re-distribute downzaps. We want them to be like a punishment / slap on the face / warning but if we give back the sats to a pool, the same zaps are redistributed to the same user that was downzapped in the first place, even that is in a small portion.
Is really a complicated situation for k00b / SN.
I personally do not downzap too much, I do it more as a personal "mark" of users, with small amounts, only few times with higher amounts. Because I know is kind of useless. Once I mark a user with a downzap, it remain forever for my own judgement. Then before I will interact again with that user, first thing I look into his history and if I see a single downzap, I know with who am I talking too... I have no remorse.
Most of stackers here are zapping without looking into others history... just instinctively zapping... and is a waste.
