I meant weird in terms of data presentation. At first read, it seems the rows are unique nyms, although the rows are actually unique combinations of nym and year.

weird how @k00b appears twice in Top Stackers; probably some quirk of how the query isolates the date...

there's a good chance it's not wrong, although I'd recommend convincing yourself [you, the human who programmed this part of the @sn bot] that the query and sorting are having the desired result in situations like this.

I've obviously not been around long enough to have an authoritative opinion, feel free to ignore this comment if you've already been through the same question

I did not notice the difference, forgive me for being dense, the lack of affirmative action has made me think like a person of color

update: how presumptuous of me to assume that people of color can think and reason like a westerner

I am not censoring you. That would be rude. You may have missed this update: #1434202

Ah, I see. Yes, this series is looking at what happened on this particular date in each year Stacker News has existed.

Don’t sweat it–noticing the difference is half wit, half life experience. You’ve got the wit, just keep collecting the insight.

Does it matter for the rewards pot...?

But where will all my loving downzaps go?

In the prev system i posted like a crazy person but zapped sparsely... Still netted tons of rewards
(Fair enough, that was from daily subsidies so I take your point)

Now it's like, why bother put effort into posting when spam-zapping everything gets me (almost) the same reward?

Burn... or there is no difference between wit and insight... prove me wrong

When actions happen determines their impact on ranking now. As a result of lit ranking, a more recent zap/boost/downzap has more impact than an older one.

Sure you would never be rude...

I was trying to bring attention to how much of a jerk you are.

No, but if there’s a larger supply of zaps and you’re capable of making top posts, then doing so will get you a bunch of sats.

If it’s only content that earns rewards, then there’s no incentive to zap it at all. That leaves you with neither zaps nor rewards.

it's an interesting idea, although I don't immediately like it and suspect some people might immediately dislike it.

Not weird at all, he's been here the longest and he zaps the most.

Zap small amounts (1–2 sats) to support good content.

Don’t be cheap. We humans zap more generously.

What type of posts usually get the most engagement here?

Less AI slop, the better.

Thanks. I’ll zap more and stick to practical Bitcoin & Lightning posts—real content, no AI fluff.

Why are they mutually exclusive? Won't you just get both if you do both?

Spending time analyzing Bitcoin's historical cycles and trying to formalize what makes certain accumulation windows more favorable than others. I've been manually tracking this stuff for years, and after enough repetition I actually built a platform around the Power Law model and cycle analysis — https://timetobuybitcoin.com — because I kept wishing something like this existed when I started. The interesting part isn't predicting price; it's understanding when you're statistically in a zone where your risk/reward for dollar-cost averaging actually shifts meaningfully. Would be curious to hear what frameworks other long-term accumulators here use to think about timing and sizing into positions.

Brevity is the soul of wit... i.e. I don't have time to read more than 100 words

They're not, but different levels of effort...tradeoffs and opcost

You are now actively censoring my content/posts?
My post
#1441579
Has net 22000 sats boost+zaps over downzaps but has been removed from homepage.
Are you now operating direct censorship or changed the way boosts/up and downzaps work?
