Yesterday I zapped a lot and no reward?
It's happened a couple of times.
Thank you for letting me cry here. ðŸ˜

The great reset!

Let’s get rid of the rewards board and just let the sats do the talking

I'm neutral on the leaderboard, as I'm unaware of the benefits or drawbacks. Any ideas?

The data is good I like that but we don’t need to give rewards for using sn? I agree you should get your splits on referral and territory but just for using sn I don’t think it’s needed

I had to read this and think about it. At first I did not agree but now I think you are right. The "lottery" type feeling is no good. At the same time rewarding peoples work is good. I have definitely benefited from the reward.
Now when I do a deep think about it am curious as to the the sats spent verses gain. I think the key here as that by being a reader and not necessarily a writer you can get paid for zapping great content. Thus you are performing a service. Otherwise you are assmilking ( @DarthCoin ) and assmilking has no reward.
One of the original attractions to Stacker News was that you could be rewarded for reading. You are a paid editor and not just a vanity press operator.

You get rewarded for zapping things other people zap/will zap. The goal is to reward people for making SN better.
Most folks primarily zap people for talking to them, people that compliment them, some banal drama that excites them, or mediocre things that they don't read well enough to realize they are mediocre and/or ai slop.

Something weird is happening with the leaderboard. What do you need to do to get on it? I've spent over 400 sats and nothing. That's odd.
Thanks

You replied to the answer. It's not only about how much you zap. It's what you zap (is it so good other people will zap it?) and when (earlier is better).
Maybe we will remove the leaderboard. It seems to be causing a lot of anxiety for folks.

I guess I meet these requirements, but your answer is a bit unclear. Thanks for your help though.

I get what @koob is communicating.
-
If you zap and no one else zaps then it's probably just a friendly zap.
-
If you zap and a bunch of other people zap the same thing then it is financially voted as good content and being the early person to see good content you are rewarded for your keen observation.
I hope this makes sense.
