Ideally the larger reward pool will elicit more zaps and offset the downzaps.
One of the problems with that is we know the targets of the downzaps, which makes the Keynesian Beauty Contest dynamic more problematic.
Very Keynesian beauty.
I've also wondered what incentives the pool split on zapping only provides. No point making much content, better just zap everyone else's... Universalized, there won't be any content
The incentive is to be the recipient of those zaps
Does it matter for the rewards pot...?
No, but if there’s a larger supply of zaps and you’re capable of making top posts, then doing so will get you a bunch of sats.
If it’s only content that earns rewards, then there’s no incentive to zap it at all. That leaves you with neither zaps nor rewards.
In the prev system i posted like a crazy person but zapped sparsely... Still netted tons of rewards
(Fair enough, that was from daily subsidies so I take your point)
Now it's like, why bother put effort into posting when spam-zapping everything gets me (almost) the same reward?
Why are they mutually exclusive? Won't you just get both if you do both?
They're not, but different levels of effort...tradeoffs and opcost
I'm supportive of continuing the experiment, and believe in the idea at a conceptual level.
The solution to trolls should be more tools to tailor your own experience, and sorting by downsats is a good step.
I suppose some decisions need to get made about what the
defaultexperience will look like, esp for new and not logged in users. But that's a lot of money for a troll to spend to influence the experience of non-commital users only. And every bad-faith downzap is actually a net resource contribution to other stackers, so while we may dislike the effect it has on rankings, we can't complain about big reward pools.
