Stacker News is open source. The whole thing is visible to everyone. The rewards logic is also described in the FAQ.
If it's self correcting, it's fine. If not, SN would need to see it.
Also, it looks ugly when I see someone just sneak and eat up the rewards for so many regular Stackers.
The rewards are non-linear with rank, so this strategy depends heavily on getting the top rank in the zapping categories. If it's working, that will draw in others to try and they just eat each other in the process.
It'll be better if everyone starts trying? Will be fun to watch.
when you gonna buy a territory bro
they are priceless
never forget
I know 🤣. It'll be within time.
I recognise you even in the attire of @anon.
cause like 3 mil sats not a big deal for you
and here you are worrying about not getting enough of your rewards each day
Who said I'm not getting enough of my rewards? Don't underestimate the power of a common man! (It's a dialogue from a Bollywood movie)
One gets the impression that he also doesn't zap things once they already have other zaps on them. It would be as if he thought those zaps were somehow tainted by the filthy zaps that came before them. If that's the case, it's a loophole in the system and could be addressed. He might be seeing valuable content and restraining because it has already been zapped and it would pull his ranking. Early zapping seems like a good incentive, but not at the cost of quality zapping.
Moreover, he may be a wizard. The profile picture looks like a wizard. If so, that would be something that the algorithm unfortunately wouldn't be able to address. This is because wizards use magic. They do so with spells and enchantments, which are not typically open source.
So, you're saying that rewards algorithm can be gamed?
Is the reward algorithm also visible to everyone?
