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.

Yes. First it was over whether you had a horse and gun in January. Then it was over discussions about horses and guns in April. Then there was operation gaslight sn last month which turned into the current war with only a few days between, so I count it as one

I think the whole horse and gun is stupid, come on, there are not only men here... 😂

For me, this downzap war is second to the madness march.

I just hid my horse and gun, and then that was worthy of a downzap. And @SimpleStacker was the leader of La Resistance for a day.

It was less toxic back then because we were fighting for good content instead of against poor content. But same principle.
