As someone who enjoys writing, all I see is that the current incentive isn't for those who enjoy creating, especially the evergreens.

Why do the heavy thinking work if zapping fast is the way to game the system?

I do think people who make good posts and good comments should be included in the rewards pool.

They already get the zaps!

That was my feeling too, but I think the Keynesian Beauty Contest distortions might be more extreme when only zapping is rewarded.

Maybe a rewards portion, like 21% or less?

Unequal splits is something they haven't really played around with. Maybe it could be something like

  • 40% top post zappers
  • 30% top post creators
  • 20% top comment zappers
  • 10% top comment creators

It’s a good idea, but I don’t think those numbers work. I see it more like this:

  • 40% top post zappers
  • 40% top comment zappers
  • 10% top post creators
  • 10% top comment creators

These would be good parameters to experiment with.

or

  • 79% top items zappers
  • 21% top items creators

agree.

I've thrown many ideas at k00b along those lines. Maybe he'll try a few more out.
