good call on this. who's out here fapping themselves? i thought we decided this was bad taste a few months ago?!
If you wanna see some algorithmic fuckery go look at the trending posts right now on nostr:npub12vkcxr0luzwp8e673v29eqjhrr7p9vqq8asav85swaepclllj09sylpugg . I’ve been noticing a trend with the trending posts and did an experiment to see if I’m right, and I believe I am. I posted this meme below, and then zapped it myself repeatedly using anon zaps. All of the top trending posts are either full of dozens and dozens of little anon zaps, or zaps by this Bitcoin Faucet Zapper bot. Completely useless feed, and 100% manipulated. What can be done to make this a more meaningful feed? nostr:npub16c0nh3dnadzqpm76uctf5hqhe2lny344zsmpm6feee9p5rdxaa9q586nvr

Another interesting part was that as soon as I had zapped meme enough to start moving it up the list of trending posts, I started seeing those other posts ticking up pretty quickly, some with over 200 zaps from some zapper bot. Makes me wonder if it’s automated to zap more and keep those posts at the top, or if someone just saw my meme and manually decided to push some other posts up with their bot.
I've had this bot hit my posts before. I can't recall who was running it. Though I may not have known either. I do know when I talked about it, nostr:npub137c5pd8gmhhe0njtsgwjgunc5xjr2vmzvglkgqs5sjeh972gqqxqjak37w hit me with a similar bot.
It was not a bot, it was fingers. It was explained many times how you can do it with NWC and anon zaps. 🐶🐾🫡
