I'm not sure.
I like stacker the way it is now. Not because of the 'assmilkers' but because it is so unique.
If I contribute posts thoughtfully in a way that people enjoy, why shouldnt I get a few sats back?
Just to be clear that's not why I post, I post because stacker news is awesome... But I think people who contribute to the platform meaningfully should see some kind of value returned.
What's the difference between that... And getting sats "directly" from others in posts?
getting sats "directly" from others in posts?
That is real V4V.
If I zap you now 100 sats, 30% goes to SN rewards pool, rewarding user that I do not want initially to zap. That means theft. If the sats goes to SN pockets only, I am perfectly fine with that.
You must prove to me first, if you deserve my sats.
As I said, if you agree to receive subsidies from rewards pool, why don't you just forward all the sats you get from a post to 10-20-30 SN users?
When people will see to who you are redirecting the sats, will think twice if they will zap you or not.
Isn't that 30% there to keep posters from zapping themselves, as the anti-sybil?
???
So literally is going back to the same ones. There are many here knowing how to game the rewards system... and honestly, me included.
But I do not like how this system goes. I really feel bad knowing that I take sats from others thhat I do not deserve but also I feel bad subsiding others that I do not want to zap.
I am pointing out a flaw !
And ofc nobody wants to recognize the flaw because everybody is a scammer here... and want to take advantage of it as long as they could.
I thought from that 30% a small % went to SN itself.
If platforms like stacker don't receive some sats... How do they pay for upkeep? Hosting?
I am happy to see a small ℅ go to SN to pay for the site... So we have more sites like SN in the future. And a small ℅ for anti-sybil...
People zap for value, when there's no value they won't just my 2 sats. I don't expect it to be perfect but IMO its better than anything else
I raised this aspect from some time ago... dec 2024 #796213
I think in your head commerce is the same as subsidy LOL, go back to school.
Would you like that a grocery store is taking your money even that you do not buy and receive anything from the shop and they give the products to somebody else that doesn't even pay for anything?
SN rewards pool is taking a cut from everybody and redistribute it to others.
When I zap somebody for a post I zap it directly because I like what they post.
When somebody receive rewards from the pool, is not that I want to zap that user, but I still pay it. That's not fair.
I am not against paying to post, but the opposite, I SUSTAIN IT! But the SN fees must go to SN only not going back to random users that initially I didn't want to zap.
Make SN a real V4V and pay to post. because right now, people are posting and zapping EXACTLY because they know that end of day will receive extra sats. That is a total assmilking.
