This makes me wonder if stackers would be interested in a "zen mode" where you opt-out of rewards and ranking and every zap goes 100% to the recipient instead of our 30% fee for rewards and to make ranking sybil-resistant. The zaps would still influence your own feed but not have any effect on the feed of other stackers.
This might mess quite a lot with other code though. For eample, maybe the sats from such zaps should also not be shown to others stackers but only to you.
I like the rewards. I would not opt out. I feel you are over complicating it. Perhaps the best solution is too boring Is there not a more equitable system that discourages the behaviour i wrote about above and encourages people to zap content that actually resonates with them, rather than what they think 'might" be top? We don't actually know what would really be "top" because the zapping behaviour of users trying to get the best result for themselves from the system skews the results.
