I think lowering the cost will do it. SN might award every new stacker 100 (or more) CCs to begin with. that way nothing is free and safe from  manipulation but a kick can be given to a normie.  

Fair. Maybe first 10 items should be free not just the first one. That way people can actually try out the site. Some people might abuse that and make multiple accounts to try to never pay but get sats in return. It's a tough problem.

My Two Sats Proposal for SN Growth

Coinsreporter

I didn't say they are the biggest ones, but they are. I think SN can do much better with less costs by bringing in more people of any sorts and then letting them learn. There can be many who might think that X and Reddit are better because they don't charge you to post. On the same time, there can be some who will ignore the fact that it's just a 10 sat to post -  not a big deal, same for comments. by reducing the territory fees, I also think that SN will see many territories which otherwise should be here already.

A gradual increase in the daily rewards could've been much better than a decrease.
