Every Nostr app has its own algo, whether you realize this or not

I'm finding every client is a bit different of course, but for the most part in order of importance, apps prioritize;

1) their own paid members, Lightning/Nostr@addresses

2) comments

- more notes the better

3) zaps

4) reactions

- basically trash

Comments are over zaps by just a hair imo, because more notes means more screen time on the app
