There was a bug in rewards that was only rewarding comment zappers. Comments zappers were getting 100% of rewards rather than 50% with the other 50% going to post zappers. This release fixes that.
Unfortunately this changes the zap reward experiment we thought we were running up until this point. Or put in a more positive way, we are moving onto another experiment.
Was this a regression and if so when was it introduced?

It was introduced when we introduced the rewards change earlier this month

I'm kind of surprised no one reported this but I also initially assumed more people were zapping posts than me and I just wasn't qualifying.
The next experiment we'll probably run will randomly reward one of:
  1. top posts
  2. top comments
  3. top zappers
... everyday. This way regardless of your economic strategy you'll get some sats so long as you regularly participate and when you get them they'll be 3x larger than if they were evenly divided between activities. Also randomness is more fun.

I haven’t been as active since the rewards changes went live, but I’ve yet to receive any since then. Maybe it’s because of this bug 🤞
