trust on SN was gained by zapping things that lots of other stackers would later zap.
If this works like you say the “system” is easy to fool. This would mean that many interactions here are artificial from someone that learned to manipulate it. But isn’t what I saw. I thought the trust works using many variables, but I didn’t understand at all too.
To have a ranking, we would need another form of evaluation, maybe one per user, like an upvote? As you mentioned, the "sat by sat" is a market for whoever spends the most, not for the hot, as the name suggests.

I'm waiting for the adjustments to give more visibility to old posts.
