I think I really soured on this when I was thinking "hmmm I should have ran the pool out of my own account and got all the zaps and comments assigned to me instead of the other account that has no zaprank standing and then instead of transferring the winnings to stillstacking, I could have zapped him the winnings improving my odds of moving up even more."
I don't want to approach SN driven by perverse incentives but even after I was souring on the format and the incentives I felt compelled by sunk cost to try to at least maintain my top 10 standing.
Maybe we should join the hidden, so that we can't even see ourselves in the rankings.
It might be useful for SN to allow something like a parent account for people like you and @ek who manage multiple accounts. There shouldn't be a rewards tradeoff between these accounts when it's all you contributing to the site.

I thought about going into hiding but if I am going to find my million sat madness zen, I need to just not care about the rankings.
What's odd is I did used to get some daily rewards from the survivor pool account which is how I used to pay the difference between what got zapped to the pot and what the account received after fees. I ended up covering the difference on the March Madness pool between what was zapped and what got deposited after fees.

Since I run the pools out of my account, I was blissfully unaware that I was subsidizing the payout.

But I include the rewards for those posts and comments in the payout. I guess I get rewards for zapping people's comments on those posts, so maybe that covers it.
