What really matter on SN is "NEW" not LIT.
LIT is just a manipulative tool for bots (no brains).
Yeah and You never Sybil your Posts . . .
Item cost contributes to ranking, at first. LIT ranking is based on the last zap activity of an item[1], this enables old content to resurface when it receives new zaps.
We need to update the FAQs.

What can be interesting is looking at 'TOP - downzaps'
To see what some don't want you to see or know...
Kind of! Posting in an expensive territory is equivalent to boosting the same amount in an inexpensive territory.
LIT is ranked base on the net "investment" of a post/comment, ie zap sats + post cost + boost - downzap sats (+ investments in the comment thread too), where each sat invested has a four hour half life starting at the time it was invested.
boost sats = post sats = zap sats
I seem to remember that LIT ranking is strictly the amount of SATs paid?
If that's right then the cheapest way to get a higher post ranking is to post in the most expensive territory.*
*Or boost.
