It can definitely make a big difference. I've seen that myself, but you can overcome small early zaps with lots of huge zaps.
So, that means (supposing we only have 1 post, 3 stackers in total) if you zap 50 and the next zapper zaps 51 he's gonna lead you on the leaderboard.
What about the third stacker who created the post? Will the ranks be
  1. The zapper with 51 sats
  2. The zapper with 50 sats
  3. The Op.
Or, should it be like that?

I believe the OP will be tied with the first zapper. Being #1 in posts is worth the same as being #1 in post zapping.
The early bonus is worth more than 1 sat, so the smaller zap is worth more towards rewards.

Anyways, I mean it's complicated for me. The more I try to understand it, the more confusing it gets.
I think we should stop talking a lot about it. Why should we care, after all? I wasn't here for Sats at first, nor you were, we're same. We should keep doing what we're doing and that's keep sharing some amazing content with each other.
I also think that we should refrain from giving this nonsense stacker our attention the next time he attempts. Why I'm saying this because I can sense that the person who created this would be laughing while seeing all us discuss a nonsense AMA where the OP replies after hours.

I'm fascinated by the rewards system for the same reason I became an economist, but it's not very important to understand it.
One of the best features is that it's too complicated to consciously game (for the most part). It's easier to just follow the heuristic of "Earn rewards by adding value."

Yes, let's just keep adding value. To seek attention, this stacker is now posting some shit memes to the bios, lol. He posted like where are my rewards? I don't think, he barely understands what it takes to stack a million sats on SN within 6 months. You can't just do it by gaming the rewards algo.
