I appreciate the point about reducing sat farming by truncating the tail, but there's so much less volatility in the monthly contest that I think it's actually much easier game. That's a different issue, but it's another variety of disingenuous engagement.

There may have been better content last month, but I think it was basically the result of a little economic bubble.

Maybe splitting the rewards pot between normal rewards and the competition can be a best of both worlds scenario. It would reduce the rewards going to sat farmers, so there should at least be less of that activity, and the people who want privacy will still get rewarded without having to be in a public competition.
