It's awesome. But I think it must contain the idea that you can receive bitcoin for your content, it's half of the selling point of SN (the other half being able to curate good content by supporting it with bitcoin).

I don't think it is something that should be so explicit, at least not for the broader audience. And it will probably just attract more assmilkers and automated bots that aim to exploit and profit from the "algo".
How explicit YT and other platforms use the "monetize your content" for marketing? They probably do in the /for-creators page, not to attract the broader audience to digest the contents.
A detail SN should focus on is in defining the personas. @Scoresby, start with research, it will feed the execution.

I understand your point but the economics of SN are the only thing that sets it apart, both in marketing terms and in actual functional terms, for it's the mechanism that disciplines its content, regardless of how many assmilkers. I think it's an error to hide the one thing SN stands out about. Without it, it would be exactly like Hacker News, hence providing zero reason to not to use Hacker News instead. Indeed that's literally in the current slogan: "It's like Hacker News, but we pay you in Bitcoin". If we abstract the essentials away it will do more harm than good.
