If it was simply based on how much you zap then you could easily game the system. You see the rewards pool is huge you can just zap one post 10k sats and do nothing else to participate in the community and then get multiples of that back. The incentive is value for value not game the system. So it depends what you zap, when you zap. If you just show up 1 minute before the daily rewards and zap the top post 10k sats it is not going to calculate that as valuable as you being the first person to zap what became the top post.
That's actually useful; I was under the impression that this type of zapping good posts (early) was less important than before money-is-moderator rewards switch
It's more important now, I think, because it's the only source of rewards anymore.
The logic of it is also that k00b wants people to find and elevate good content, not just zap stuff that's already visible.
You could think of rewards as being a payment for curation, where the total value of curation is measured by how much people zapped that day.
I just want to understand how it works, because I was under the impression that the incentive for spending actual sats was to qualify for a share of the rewards, and that the incentive was roughly 1:1. I’m not asking for half the pot—I understand that if others spend more, they secure a better position—but what is the logic behind spending 4,000, 5,000, or 20,000 sats if the reward doesn't even amount to 10% of what you spent? In that scenario, what happens to the supposed 1:1 incentive?
