Exactly. Also, this should be self-correcting, as long as Stackers aren't zapping those posts or falling for the scams. Then, it's just scammers losing money to uninterested stackers.
Right! I think that the downzapping of clear scams (if someone posts a wall of slop and then in the end says "I'm here to sell you a token" it ought to be pretty clear what the intent is, even if ones IQ is lower than the total MBTC supply cap) ensures that there are less victims. Lower visibility, lower chance of victims.
And the beauty of the downzap-to-rewards flow is that it could come at zero cost.
Well, there's no getting around that the cost is the amount of sats you could have kept, but it might be rational to forego those for the sake of long-term reputational value.
The bigger problem, at least for me, is that I usually ignore slop, which means I won't see if it's peddling a scam at the end.
In my normal flow I force myself to ignore bad content that I feel one way or the other about, to not have zap wars. But I make exceptions for scams.
I applaud the diligence.
It's more hate than diligence haha
I applaud that too
I don't really think that it should matter whether it is "generally accepted" to be okay / not-okay to profit from it - at least not much from the perspective of the rewards pool. It would be great if those extra-free-sats are used well, but it cannot be an obligation of course. Also the reward sats are not a direct income, it's extremely indirect. My question is more asked to find out how people feel about it.
Even for a territory owner, because - as turning off boosts would just invite sybil accounts, or even anon zapping - there isn't really a way to deal with boosts other than to monitor them. Not always the easiest job either, especially not if you get a bunch of them throughout the day while you're offline. So even there, it's not an obligation, though I may mute a territory that is continuously promoting material that I do not agree with. So bottom line it's in the interest of the territory owner to keep their territory clean of at least the most egregious scams that got boosted, I think. There is an incentive there.
