I leave this without comment
0x brought that up in the saloon. What do you think is going on there?

I think the reward algo is far too skewed to optimizing for top posts and comments and likely punishes for zapping and commenting on a lot of stuff rather than taking a surgical approach and just focusing on the top few posts of the day.
I understand why it is set up this way. You don’t want people spamming to just get rewards but clearly that’s not what 10, 11, 12 are doing. We are all good stackers.
Btw this is not a complaint. Just evidence that maybe the rewards system does need adjusting.

When we were talking about it, I don't think nullcount had any comments. My guess is that he's instantly zapping a tiny amount to all the likely top posts. It's hard to believe that's enough to generate those rewards.

Im just curious how someone gets zapped that much.
Not that it isnt right.
But also, sometimes its very skewed when you look at spent, commented, and posted.
What if there were different categories?
Ones for commenters, posters, and stackers who spend or donate the most?
reply
It's a great question. My thinking now is that he's waiting for k00b or davidw to leave comments (or the other top commenters) and he's zapping those right away. It probably takes many fewer sats to be the top early zapper of top comments than it does for zapping posts.
When we used to get the more detailed rewards breakdowns, I was almost always 2nd or 3rd in comment zapping. Maybe null was first (and doing it much more efficiently than I).
I am new on this platform. I don't understand how this reward system works. Can anyone tell me something about this? What should be done posts or comments or spending or something else???

Please see screenshot below. Position of two Stackers @nullcount and @davidw .
Still confusing.
reply
Most of us are a bit confused by nullcount’s position.
Davidw on the other hand specializes in making a small number of high quality posts and comments.
The best posts and comments get a disproportionate share of the rewards.
reply
I think only site developer can solve our problem.
reply
All you really need to know is that creating and zapping good posts and comments is how rewards are earned.
The site developers pretty regularly adjust the specific rewards formula, but it’s always with the aim of rewarding those behaviors.
reply
This means there is no fixed formula for it.
reply
There is, but they experiment with it pretty often.
I think the formula is in the FAQ at the bottom of the page, if you want to see it.
reply
Ok. I'll check
