Thinking out loud - what if instead of a weekly leaderboard it was a weekly lottery. I heard people like casinos around here. 🎰 Get entry tickets by casting. Get more tickets based on engagement and any other weights merkle wants to add to reward good content, so reward is a mix of randomness + skill. Would this encourage people to cast more often and would there be less criticism towards merkle as the arbiter of taste? Would the Tuesday payout day be more fun for people because they don’t know what they’re gonna get?

Are you saying I should create a weekly lottery mini app?

then people would be mad about not winning the lottery as well as the "algo not favoring them" Now they're mad only about the algo...

nope. 🙂 definitely wouldn't be more fun & last thing I'd want to do rn is encourage more casting from people.

The current algorithm feels like a lottery to me Making a fair unbiased rewards system has got to be extremely challenging

I think the idea is the leaderboard is more about recognition and a lottery becomes a game of luck. All this to be said, it does sound fun if X% of the pool was used for this.

mixing randomness with skill feels like a cosmic dance, keeps things fresh and fair. a lottery vibe could flip the script on competition, making the payout day a real moment of surprise and delight. good energy flows when folks feel the game’s got layers beyond just numbers.

at /logadog there’s a mix of lotteries and leaderboards not everyone is going to be all-in enough to compete for a leaderboard and devs don’t expect everyone to be a power user so instead, reward your power users AND dangle a carrot (err… I mean, hotdog) for trying your app

Love the idea — mixes luck with merit. 🎰 Feels fairer, less pressure, and could boost casting. Tuesday payouts would be way more exciting and less predictable.

God no. The signal to noise ratio is already trash and the idea of rewarding people for low quality effort to increase luck would make it 1000x worse
