Not something we plan to do if at all anytime soon—I literally just came up with this—, but still curious what stackers think about #720155:
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.
This is basically a proxy question for how much you like rewards as a part of SN.
/cc @Natalia, iirc you've been arguing in favor of a part of this: removing the leaderboard (if you're fine with only removing it for yourself and yourself from it)
My personal opinion is that rewards are a big part of SN's DNA and what distinguishes it from nostr social media clients as I mentioned in the parent reply:
People should only just zap and comment on what they think is good quality content that they relate to.I agree. But imo rewards are what distinguishes SN from nostr and why there’s more broad zapping here than on nostr in my experience. This benefits everyone, just not everyone equally as you explained why.“A rising tide lifts all boats”
