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?

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.
