ASSMILKER

meta

Yes, another post on assmilking. Even though I have not been commenting, or calling out assmilker's, I have been here diligently watching everyones performance.

The first situation that I want to examine are the Stacker News Annual rewards that are being put on by @Coinsreporter. You need to ask yourself if you understand WHY these are being held by him and not the Stacker News staff? Do you really believe that @Coinsreporter cares who should get the rewards? Let me assure you, he does not care. He is only after the attention that it brings him. He has been milking everyone that does not understand this concept. Every time the post is zapped, or commented on, he reaps the benefits. How many posts has he done on this subject? The rewards that he is accruing may not be obvious, but it is from the zaps he receives on his comments, and the rewards he receives from the leaderboard. Do you understand WHY he only makes one Annual Awards post daily? @DarthCoin has posted on each one, showing that this is a sham. OPEN YOUR EYES.

The second situation, which is not as serious, but comical to observe, is how the leaderboard has changed. Yes, it has been tweaked in such a way that an assmilker will have to work harder to earn rewards from the leaderboard. You need to ask yourself this question. Are you contributing to Stacker News's ecosystem, or are you leaching off of it?

Take some time to contemplate this. Each sat has meaning.


Assmilking Post Revisited

I have been on here for quite some time and I have come to realize a few things. There is a lot of gaming and assmilking happening on Stacker News, and many of you do not even realize that it is happening. For the people that do realize it, they can not do anything about it. The assmilkers are taking advantage of everyone who is on here to learn about bitcoin and join the community. Even after some time, new stackers have to join the assmilking because there is no initiative to stop it. If they do not join, they will suffer and not make it as high on the leader board. They have to unwillingly be a part of the system that will eventually make Stacker News unenjoyable.

I believe the solutions are:

Stackers
Stop giving assmilkers sats on their posts. Minimize the amount they can assmilk by not contributing to their posts. This will eliminate their behavior! Why are we giving sats to people that just post links? Do you really believe they have read the whole article or have listened to the whole podcast? Just because they have a good reputation doesnt mean you should zap them sats. Each sat has meaning!

@k00b
Is it possible to show how much each person contributes sat wise and the time to each post? We are already able to see how many people zap a post. This will help show which people are actually supporting the posters, and keep the system more honest. Everyone would be able to see who is feeding the assmilkers, and everyone would be able to take that into consideration. If it was all an open system, we would be able to see all of this and make these educated kinds of decisions. Everyone could see who are the sockpuppet and which accounts are linked after a little bit of logic. For the people who care, that would actually mean a lot.

Conclusion:
Everyone, Stacker News is what we make of it. If we allow these type of people to gain more influence on this platform, eventually the platform will push away people that are genuinely interested in bitcoin and stacker news. Think deeply on what kind of platfrom you want Stacker News to become.
