42 sats \ 3 replies \ @Coinsreporter OP 6h \ parent \ on: My Two Sats Proposal for SN Growth meta
I get your point. My growth plan is about how to increase User activity on SN, not the revenue for SN. Reddit is still not sure about profit with millions of users. Not comparing but it gives support to my proposal.
And it's also true that SN can only be supported if it has more users, more content and more activity. All in all I mean why not just give it a try and see for a few months if that makes some difference.
Stacker News needs to be able to financially support itself. If they stick to raising revenue solely from territory fees, then they should use parameters that are plausibly going to work and let the rest evolve around that.

What do you prefer?
A1000 people paying/Zapping/posting/comenting in ~econ or 10 to 20 only? I'd definitely put my my more faith in somthing that's been zapped by 1000 be it with 1 sat than by one person. I'd love to see SN evolve into a pay-to-post social media than remaining open for "Botcoiners only".

I have no reason to think those are the options. I've experimented with much lower posting fees and some territories still have low posting fees and no one is getting that kind of engagement.
In fact, posting frequency didn't decline dramatically as fees rose from 1 to 10 to the variety we have today.
In spirit, though, I think higher fees increase signal quality and decrease signal quantity, so finding a balance is important. Prices have to coordinate many competing interests, which is why there aren't obvious one-size-fits all solutions to these problems.
