The assmilking problem is a little nondescript imho. Everyone has their own definition and their own idea of what good content is.
AFAICT the more general problem is that most people don't zap. Then quite a few of the people that do zap, primarily zap their friends or stackers that call them handsome in so many ways. The best zappers zap the best content they find on the site and do it routinely, regardless of whether it's flattering to them personally or not, and that's why they routinely rank high in rewards.
I'm not sure how stackers expect to see the content they want to see in the world without zapping, but I also understand they'd rather earn sats than spend them.
Since I was on nostr for months before I joined SN, I am now used to zapping good content. Sometimes it is hard to say what the right amount should be. The default I have is 21, but 100 is also easily given by a good post.

Thanks. I don't think the anti assmilker group can understand your point. They just want to take down top stackers from the leaderboard without zapping.

Why don’t they come right out and say what the crappy content is without naming nym? Call out the crappy posts in replies. Make a reply that says, “You’re assmilking, here!” That would be a warning to other readers/stackers.

They are concerned. I don't want to take the nyms of a few of them but they targeted me for the same very recently. If you remember, one of them even asked if I and @Rsync25 are the same. They made comments like I abuse the reward system to be on top of the leaderboard which isn't correct. The account that's by the name assmilker also made derogatory comments on my posts. I had to mute two stackers unwillingly and had to ignore the assmilker (nym).
I think the thing that's worked for me is zapping top content daily, creating some engaging posts,(may be), subscribing to territories and stackers I like, so as to get notifications from them. I've even subscribed you and never miss a comment and post from you. My default zap is 10 which I do if I find something valuable, interesting and even funny. And that's all I understand.

I think that is part of the problem. People see the posts in their own light and in their own eyes. They will zap what they zap. It is hard for the staff to direct the zapping if all the stackers do not agree on what is good zapping practice. If you just leave it alone, let people zap what they will zap you will continue getting the results you are getting.
I also think that posters zap comments to increase the comments on their posts. I guess you could call this a form of assmilking, if you will.

How does one see the trust vaule?

What contributes to trust scores? Is there something that the individual stacker can change about what he is doing? I understand discernment is a factor in anything we do.
