I don't think so. A stacker like that would have a low trust score, so their zapping wouldn't move the needle much on posts. Also, zap size is counted logarithmically, so it becomes very expensive to elevate content as a single zapper.
A handful of downzappers could take down such a whale.
Do not underestimate them... there are many here with multiple accounts, playing around.
That's what the 30% sybil fees are for.
If only we could unveil all of them. I think gaming the system is wrong, but morals are different for each person.
But it also works the same way with downzapping. If a person has multiple accounts, and then downzaps on the same post, wouldnt that be unfair?
That is a potential problem. I think it matters whether their multiple accounts have high global trust, though.
@k00b, is that true? Or can any new account just downzap, and that will bring it into an outlaw category?
Undisciplined cares about how it works and knows how it works.
Downzaps are weighted by trust just like zaps.
Money playing a role in content discovery is why I am here.
The whole internet has been likes, seniority, censorship, and nepotism because there never was a way to make people put some skin in the game.
It's exciting to see what can happen when money is tied very closely to the rating mechanism to determine what rises to the top.
Can it be gamed? Sure. Costco can sell $1.50 hotdogs at a loss, too. But the question is will this be better than the other ways of doing it. We're finding out zap by zap.
I would guess this is why discernment is so important.
This is an interesting concept.
Do old articles that get zapped a lot show up on recents?
Or just on the top?
No, are just zapped.
This is where SN algo is wrong. It should not be like that. One day will come a whale and zap randomly posts no matter what will be said in those posts. It could be even weird posts, porn or whatever bullshit.
And stackers will ask why those posts are on top, when should not be.
I myself I found some of my old posts zapped with a lot of sats, even that were not worth it. Some anon is doing that few time per month.
You have been warned. I stand my ground: zaps must be separated from upvotes algo.
