Who is this and why are his notes always tending on Primal with dozens upon dozens of “anonymous” zaps? Fuck off with this influencer bullshit playing the algorithms. Provide real value. nostr:note1fds2gr6lxr5qspl4at7rrymaln9nkum5dthzay09l5u2mmhqwmwsrz5t64

3rd time this week and it’s all from faked zaps 💩 🤡

Faked zaps? How so?

Zapwashing bro

😂

It’s so dumb 🤣

Oh that is interesting 🤔 thanks for pointing that out

nostr:npub1q8w7u2ymrghfpp6v5dpg57jpgaj2djk340a2npwzq8n64ksk6wxq8aw95u can you explain?

So you're saying I can anon zap myself to trend? 😂

Apparently so 🤣

You can also publicly zap yourself and make it trend 😂🤷

That's why I keep saying that we do not need algorithms. Get rid of that shit now.

💯

Called this when anonymous zaps came up.

Clients could let us disregard them as a toggle switch. I mean sorry anon-zappers but it was bound to be abused, clients only accounting non-anon zaps as an option is fair

I don’t mind the use of them for privacy. That’s why they exist I think. But anon zaps and zapper bots shouldn’t be counted in any algorithmic/trending feeds.

Ha. He is trying hard 😁

🤦‍♂️😂

I don't know who it is but he was one of the 1st to be nice to me & I often see him welcoming newbs, helping with wallet setup & zapping them 🤷‍♀️

Same, the posts I’ve seen appear pleasant/helpful. It’s just disappoint to see people get wrapped up in the need to game an algorithm for attention. People can do what they want, and if that’s what he wants then it’s his prerogative. But for me it negates any value that his posts or the trending section on nostr:npub12vkcxr0luzwp8e673v29eqjhrr7p9vqq8asav85swaepclllj09sylpugg offers if I see that someone can so easily manipulate it.

I agree. The concept definitely dilutes the experience.

What exactly are "trending" posts anyway? How do you define trending? Likes per second for the last 24 hours? That plus maybe sats zapped/day?

It may well be he is doing the work to get people to put him in that position. Your irritation may actually be caused by the stupidity of people or the fact that you don't get that amount of value from it. The photo is nice though.

There's no second guessing what the market says. I'd say only if the definition of trending was unfair there is a problem. Is the source code of the site available to read?

It’s from dozens of “anon” zaps on his posts. You do the math.

If a trending metric exists there will always be someone trying to game it 🤷‍♂️

💯

"trending" shouldn't be a thing. your feed. who you follow. that's it.

You can guarantee that not only will some of the apps curate content manually, but that eventually the big social media will be doing that too.

The freedom of Nostr is going to be purely about people writing good algorithms and putting the parameters for controlling them in the hands of the user. Otherwise, it will be a mass of invisible, unseen posts that never get seen.

It's gonna happen though, but it's not gonna have the big money behind it. Us proles are always gonna be on the outside of the Big Club.

Then don't use primal
