Your individual rank depends on you engaging with "high quality" content. Even if you are not explicitly punished (say docked a point) for engaging with low quality content, doing so reduces the overall amount of high quality content you are engaging with.
Say I zap and comment on 50 posts today. If 5 are top posts and 45 aren't I believe my rank would be worse than if I just engaged with 10 and 5 were top posts.
I see. That's why my trust score is very low.

I don't think it is low. It is probably high compared to a lot of stackers but maybe not as high as some of the other regulars in the top 10.

The trust score mechanism at SN is fantastic for at least we are talking about. Can you say the same for any other platform?
I personally don't have any objections to how it works except for my "Daily Zap'" post always remains way down under, sometimes even lower to a few posts whi have been zapped only 10 Sats.

That's sorting on "top", not "hot"?
reply
Yes. It's after sorting by top.

I just checked that out. It is surprising. Maybe my trust score isn't as high as k00b led me to believe.
reply
If you check out for the previous days, you'd be surprised even more. Somebody's 10 Sat zap is more valuable than a lot of other stackers' so many zaps in hundreds. That made me believe one more thing that any game like MM or FFF on SN can be easily manipulated by top ranks. It'd just require someone's 10 sat zap to get the top rank.
I tried ~music pool with another formula but that went like I won my own pool.
At last, I just wanna say, we can keep speculating for SN algo in the same way as we do for who Satoshi is.
reply
Yeah, there's a lot of inertia in the trust scores.
reply
I'm pretty sure that's correct. Trust is meant to be a measure of how reliable your zap signals are.
