Yeah, but since you can essentially create unlimited accounts, you could just create multiple accounts, and up zap yourself to whatever point you wanted, to fulfill whatever requirement is necessary.

That would be fairly obvious and accrue a 30% tax wouldn't it?

Or can you zap yourself 100%?

I don't know...would it really be that obvious? Upzaps and downzaps are not public now, right?

And a 30% tax...they'd laugh at that. There's millions spent every month on the propaganda purveyors. Content creators are paid insane amounts to downplay what they want to downplay, and vice versa.

I think some kind of reputation based system (like a "Accept downzaps from" list ) is the only way to make this not a completely financial thing. Like - who has the most sats can determine what's on the main feed.

Yes the Zionist downzapper does seem to be very well funded.
We are discovering the potential problems with using money as a moderator- the rich can play on it.
Perhaps all we can do is tax it to some extent (by forcing the use of Sybil downzaps by limiting downzaps to upzaps), identify those downzapping- ie anons cannot downzap, and nyms are identified where they downzap?
We can also already identify the posts that have been downzap censored in the Stacker Saloon.
It seems like there may be no one simple and perfect solution- just ongoing war!
