yeah that is one concern i have.
one other consideration is the satisfaction one gets from winning something. is it as fun if literally everyone gets a trophy?
personally, i find success more rewarding when i have to work for it and when success is not certain from the beginning, but a challenge.
i think it’s important to echo the point you made in your summary @ek, the bar is pretty low to become one of the top 100 stackers as is.
i don’t know of any stackers who regularly contribute decent content and zaps and are going to miss out on rewards.
