I like to read posts to learn practical things, or maybe even tips or tricks from someone's experience and I don't really see them, but that's my preference, not everyone like these things.
Right now everything gets blanket zapped. So you can have 1 of 2 strategies:
- Solicit the zap side with no money down
- Solicit the reward side with zaps down
Thus, we get more slop and more people zapping slop.
oh dear. that sounds bad.
I saw a bot make 6k this morning.
how did you see a bot make 6k?
Identify a bot. See it get zapped 6k
which post?
After checking top comments. It was 5.2k
that's the wrong question, imho. I brought this up last time too.
There are 2 solutions to this:
- SN change
- Stacker behavior change
Every single time, stackers call for k00b to do something. But, that is even weaker sauce than the weak sauce of actual bitcoiners being so degenerate that they need handouts.
It takes time to write good posts, if pure zapping gets more rewards, why bother doing the work? Just post few links and you're done, stackers will zap anyway. 😂😂😂
The algo was from my perspective broken for a while - it kinda broke in the first month of its introduction for me, but I do think that it was good to give it a bit longer. Now, I think that it's thoroughly killed.
Killed by "bitcoiners" that are gaming a rewards pot filled with scam money and k00bs money used for fighting the scam. It just feels all so incredibly sad to me. This muscle dog -> weak dog transformation is a whole lot worse than I previously considered.
I think the old reward style was better: rewarding those doing the work (writing) and zappers randomly, now everything is so predictable, all you need is to zap everything and fast.
And what content is out there? Most are rubbish or news that doesn't even matter a week later...do these things really deserve our attention and our sats?
I host a lost territory so from a curation perspective, as long as things are on-topic, they're better than there being nothing. And I upzap these unless they really have zero value. I always like being able to link back to an SN post with a discussion we had here, rather than having to link out to some external site. Plus I get to write my grumpy opinion every time Sam Altman does something stupid, which is a couple times per week, so that keeps me well vented haha.
I also think that it is good that we discuss even news within the 24h (2h?) cycle, because that also allows us to recognize long term trends over short term happenings. It's not all bad, but I do agree that evergreen content is more useful in the long term. And should be the most visible. That's why I downzap the scam (and some bullshit the other day) - because long-term it is damaging if that's the top content. It competes with the evergreen content you say you like most.
Rewards got changed with the current experiment. The new reality will be different when it gets there.

how did you write these tiny words? solved!
Or it's more interesting to see how stackers will behave when the downzap war end.

SN is a system that I would call having "emergent properties"
I set out to to see whether you were right or wrong by looking at my personal satistics page. Turns out I zap and comment less than half from usual for 3 days already.
So that means you're right by my count.
