21 sats \ 11 replies \ @Undisciplined 6 Sep \ parent \ on: SN is clumsy [and I'm worse] meta
I have two answers to that, but I also don't think there's anything wrong with trying to earn sats here.
  1. Reasonable expectations: The earning potential at SN is fairly limited. If I really applied myself, I don't think I could even net 20k sats regularly. That's going to be a disappointing ceiling for most people.
  2. It's not what the incentives are designed for. What the rewards and fees are designed for is a higher quality social media experience. That's not incompatible with earning from posting, but it's not optimized for that either.

Yeah the ceiling would be disappointing for most, still I think people would like SN more of put up as 'earning opportunity' before them. As you said we have enough lead (creators) we need more followers, but how? We need to show everyobe that SN is better than X and reddit on its 'contributor programme', it rewards more and it has the best community.

One thing that I've been surprised hasn't worked better is convincing more nostr users to just cross-post from SN. That seems like really low hanging fruit.

Maybe we're just discussing about all of it in vain, there might just not be enough Bitcoiners who can make SN a community of a million people.
Maybe we first need to promote Bitcoin, SN will then be promoted automatically.

I care more about the vibrancy of SN than the number of stackers.
Even just doubling our active users (assuming quality remains high) would make a huge difference.

I can't agree more. I also think if our sleeping stackers rise again, it'd make a huge difference too.

My view has pretty much always been that retaining contributors is better than attracting new ones. Unfortunately, we don't know much about how to do either

"regularly" is like the tides?

Meaning that if I were relying on SN as a source of income, I don't think I could count on doing much better than 20k per day.

20k per day
crazy
the days that I've observed1, the revenue pie has always had a significant slice labelled "donations"; are you saying that if you put your mind to it, you could be the richest beggar in Bagghar?

  1. I'm not much of an auditor; the first pie I studied was bugged, and due to my shame as one of github's shunned keyboard jockeys, I have avoided tracking these with my morning coffee as resurgence of the bug would only shame me further for not reporting it properly. ↩
