How are you gonna reward downzappers with sats? Right now, rewards go to the upzappers of the top posts/comments. How are you gonna define a top down post/comment? Only if the downzaps are higher than the upzaps?

Top posts are the top third of posts, so bad posts would just be the bottom third.

With the current number of stackers, and even fewer downzapping, that would be easy to manipulate. You could just go to posts/comments with few or no upzaps and downzap those. With just a few sats, you'd be the top downzapper real quick!

Yes, but you’re ranked against all other zappers, not just downzappers. The expected value of a downzap would still be negative.

reply

Right, but this way you can rack up more 'top zapper' points (total of up/down zaps) and get more daily rewards. Or maybe I’m not getting your algorithm!

Recall that earliness matters. Waiting to see which posts don’t do well is just as poor a strategy as waiting to see which catch on.

I suspect you’re right that it would be more effective, but probably still not very lucrative.

The strategy that would work better would be for someone who generally earns a lot of rewards to make posts under a different nym that will attract downzaps.

I completely agree with my friend; we cannot reward those who behave negatively in the same way as those who behave positively.
